 	This value overrides net.core.rmem_default used by other protocols.

 	max: maximal size of receive buffer allowed for automatically
 	selected receiver buffers for TCP socket. This value does not override
 	net.core.rmem_max.  Calling setsockopt() with SO_RCVBUF disables
 	automatic tuning of that socket's receive buffer size, in which
 	case this value is ignored.
