`man tcp` says `net.ipv4.tcp_rmem`'s max value *does not override* `net.core.rmem_max` (see [1] [2]) but I found in practice it does. The person in this thread http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31546835/tcp-receiving-window-size-higher-than-net-core-rmem-max/35438236 confirms my finding. Is the man page (and ip-sysctl.txt) outdated? Thanks for clarifying!
