These are values I've seen and used for SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS, 
SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE and NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS, but the NET_BUFFER_SZ 
recommendation is much larger than I have ever seen.

Could someone explain when you can and cannot or should and should not 
use 512K/1M.

Is there discussion or recommendation of this (large!) setting anyplace 
(besides this post)?

Thanks and cheers, wayne
