+The following parameters should be tunable but aren't, until we get sysctl
+or similar schemes. For now you'll have to dig around. Various CONFIG_xxx
+items that should be configurable using sysctl omitted.
+
+This is far from complete
+
+Item Description
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+MAX_SOCKETS Tunable on boot, maximum sockets we will allocate
+NUM_PROTO Maximum loadable address family, will need recompile
+MAX_LINKS Maximum number of netlink minor devices. (1-32)
+MAX_QBYTES Size of a netlink device queue (tunable)
+RIF_TABLE_SIZE Token ring RIF cache size (tunable)
+AARP_HASH_SIZE Size of appletalk hash table (tunable)
+AX25_DEF_T1 AX.25 parameters. These are all tunable via
+AX25_DEF_T2 SIOCAX25SETPARMS
+AX25_DEF_T3 T1-T3,N2 have the meanings in the specification
+AX25_DEF_N2
+AX25_DEF_AXDEFMODE 8 = normal 128 is PE1CHL extended
+AX25_DEF_IPDEFMODE 'D' - datagram 'V' - virtual connection
+AX25_DEF_BACKOFF 'E'xponential 'L'inear
+AX25_DEF_NETROM Allow netrom 1=Y
+AX25_DF_TEXT Allow PID=Text 1=Y
+AX25_DEF_WINDOW Window for normal mode
+AX25_DEF_EWINDOW Window for PE1CHL mode
+AX25_DEF_DIGI 1 for inband 2 for cross band 3 for both
+AX25_DEF_CONMODE Allow connected modes 1=Yes
+AX25_ROUTE_MAX AX.25 route cache size - no currently tunable
+Unnamed (16) Number of protocol hash slots (tunable)
+DEV_NUMBUFFS Number of priority levels (not easily tunable)
+Unnamed (300) Maximum packet backlog queue (tunable)
+MAX_IOVEC Maximum number of iovecs in a message (tunable)
+MIN_WINDOW Offered minimum window (tunable)
+MAX_WINDOW Offered maximum window (tunable)
+MAX_HEADER Largest physical header (tunable)
+MAX_ADDR_LEN Largest physical address (tunable)
+SOCK_ARRAY_SIZE IP socket array hash size (tunable)
+ARP_RES_TIME Time we try and resolve (tunable)
+ARP_DEAD_RES_TIME Time the entry stays dead (tunable)
+ARP_MAX_TRIES Maximum tries (tunable)
+ARP_TIMEOUT Timeout on an ARP (tunable)
+ARP_CHECK_INTERVAL Check interval to refresh an arp (tunable)
+ARP_CONFIRM_INTERVAL Confirm poll time (tunable)
+ARP_TABLE_SIZE Hash table size for ARP (tunable)
+IP_MAX_MEMBERSHIPS Largest number of groups per socket (BSD style)
+16 Hard coded constant for amount of room allowed for
+ cache align and faster forwarding (tunable)
+IPFRAG_HIGH_THRESH Limit on fragments, we free fragments until we reach
+IPFRAG_LOW_THRESH which provides some breathing space. (tunable)
+IP_FRAG_TIME Time we hold a fragment for. (tunable)
+PORT_MASQ_BEGIN First port reserved for masquerade (tunable)
+PORT_MASQ_END Last port used for masquerade (tunable)
+MASQUERADE_EXPIRE_TCP_FIN Time we keep a masquerade for after a FIN
+MASUQERADE_EXPIRE_UDP Time we keep a UDP masquerade for (tunable)
+MAXVIFS Maximum mrouted vifs (1-32)
+MFC_LINES Lines in the multicast router cache (tunable)
+SK_RMEM_MAX Max memory a socket owns for receive (tunable)
+SK_WMEM_MAX Max memory a socket owns for send (tunable)
+
+NetROM parameters are tunable via an ioctl passing a struct
+
+4000 Size a Unix domain socket malloc falls back to
+ (tunable) should be 8K - a bit for 8K machines like
+ the ALPHA
