- # Netlink socket buffer size
+ # Netlink event socket buffer size. If you do not specify this clause,
+ # the default buffer size value in /proc/net/core/rmem_default is
+ # used. This default value is usually around 100 Kbytes which is
+ # fairly small for busy firewalls. This leads to event message dropping
+ # and high CPU consumption. This example configuration file sets the
+ # size to 2 MBytes to avoid this sort of problems.

- # Increase the socket buffer up to maximum if required
+ # The daemon doubles the size of the netlink event socket buffer size
+ # if it detects netlink event message dropping. This clause sets the
+ # maximum buffer size growth that can be reached. This example file
+ # sets the size to 8 MBytes.
