No buffer space available when using the ip_queue module

Hi!

When using the ip_queue module from Netfilter I sometimes get this error:

Failed to receive netlink message: No buffer space available

Is it possible to make those kernel buffers bigger so that I don't run into this problem?

Best regards
Martin

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft product.

Yes, these are standard Netlink sockets, and you can tune their receive buffer sizes via /proc, or use the SO_RCVBUF socket option on the file descriptor.
