net: set net.core.rmem_max and net.core.wmem_max to 4 MB
SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF have limited range today, unless
distros or system admins change rmem_max and wmem_max.
Even iproute2 uses 1 MB SO_RCVBUF which is capped by
the kernel.
Decouple [rw]mem_max and [rw]mem_default and increase
[rw]mem_max to 4 MB.
Before:
$ sysctl net.core.rmem_default net.core.rmem_max net.core.wmem_default net.core.wmem_max
net.core.rmem_default = 212992
net.core.rmem_max = 212992
net.core.wmem_default = 212992
net.core.wmem_max = 212992
After:
$ sysctl net.core.rmem_default net.core.rmem_max net.core.wmem_default net.core.wmem_max
net.core.rmem_default = 212992
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 212992
net.core.wmem_max = 4194304
