How do I adjust kernel paramenters such as max tcp connections and max socket descriptors ?
There are no kernel parameters that control those specifically.
Very indirectly, you can control tcp_mem to control the amount of memory TCP sockets are allowed in the system. The number of socket descriptors is only constrained by the number of file descriptors in the system.
If you just want to know how to control kernel parameters, you can edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add entries for the parameters you want to change. See man 5 sysctl.conf. That will persist across reboots. Else just echo the new value into /proc/sys/?. See Documentation/filesystems/ proc.txt.
See Documentation/networking/ip_sysctl.txt, man 7 tcp, man 7 socket for kernel parameters you can control.
