Hello,

Kamailio will try to set UDP receive buffer on the socket to the maximum value 
during startup. The maxbuffer core parameter can be used to restrict the 
buffer size to a certain value, in order not not use all of the available 
buffer size. This is IMHO a rarely used parameter, the default is 256KB.

As a process in user space Kamailio can't exceed the values that are 
configured with kernel system parameters, like you quoted above. Think of this 
parameters of a hard upper value for all (normal) processes on the system.

Best regards,

Henning
