So sysctl's like net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max might play role here, but I would
be curious as to what is the reason this comes up in the first place.  Is
the traffic to system valid, and hence raising the limits would be the
correct course of action.  Or do you have some deeper problem which limit
raising would only mask or temporarily alleviate the issue.
