Additionally, create an /etc/sysctl.conf file and append it with the following values:

<-- begin

#Disables packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 #Enables source route verification net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 #Disables the magic-sysrq key kernel.sysrq = 0 fs.file-max=65536

vm.bdflush = 100 1200 128 512 15 5000 500 1884 2 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 net.core.rmem_max= 262143 net.core.rmem_default = 262143 net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 131072 262143 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 131072 262143 net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0 net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0

kernel.shmmax = 67108864
