I'm certain someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the current setting is optimized for low latency networks, like LANs, and reduces kernel memory consumption. Also, your use of a value of a million, is overly high and might lead to problems--experiment and use the lowest value that meets your needs. For more information, google for bandwidth delay product.
