Dave,

I guess i was influenced by the TCP specific tcp_rmem/tcp_wmem. But TCP
seems to be using them as a vector of 3 values and tuning the buffer sizes
dynamically based on these values.
As of now, SCTP doesn't do any tuning dynamically so i could have used the
core rmem_default/wmem_default.

Do you want me to remove the specialized SCTP sysctl's?

Thanks
Sridhar
