You're setting these values to 1 thing. They require 3. This will
generate some errors when you load these.

I get these errors from the following settings in /etc/sysctl.conf file:

# Custom Settings:
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog=2048
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=30
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl=10
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes=7
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time=1800
net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets=360000
net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries=3
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
net.ipv4.tcp_mem="8388608 8388608 8388608"

# sysctl -p  [errors]
error: unknown error 22 setting key 'net.ipv4.tcp_rmem'
error: unknown error 22 setting key 'net.ipv4.tcp_wmem'
