Check for an overriding value in /etc/sysctl.conf.d in one of the files there.

If you just modified /etc/sys.conf, but there's another .conf file in /etc/sysctl.conf.d that specifies the same value, the one from
  /etc/sysctl.conf.d   takes precedence.

Hi Daniele,

all of what you describe is intended behavior.

First off, UHD tells you *exactly* what to do. Run:
`sudo sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=24862979` Nothing else. Just copy the 
previous line without the ``.
The same goes for the rmem part.
These changes are valid as long as your machine runs. It is not a permanent 
change. Thus, you need to rerun this command after every reboot. This is also 
intended. Reasonable defaults are set for your everyday use. UHD does stress 
the network quite a lot with a lot of IQ samples, thus, you see a warning that 
tells you what to do to improve performance. Other applications might work 
worse then. But as long as you want to use a USRP and UHD, this is fine.

The whole `/proc` folder structure exists for the purpose that your Linux 
kernel communicates information to you. Lots of tools make use of that [0]. 
This is nothing UHD related but Linux in general. Certainly worthwhile to learn 
about it.
Starting from there, you can figure out what the actual command does and how 
you would proceed if you would want to make this change permanent.

Cheers
Johannes

The number that seems configured every time I run uhd_usrp_probe is

1048576 that is the value present in the file wmem_max in the
directory

/proc/sys/net/core/

I searched also the way to modify this value and I found:

sudo -s -H

echo 24862979 > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max

If now I test the number present in the file:

cat   /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max

the result is 24862979

and the command uhd_usrp_probe does not report warning.

But if I restart the linux box,

cat   /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max

produce 1048576 again

Have you done the same for "rmem_max"?   Perhaps the continued warning
messages are related to this rather than wmem_max?

         Hi!

         I’m using a X310 on a linux box UBUNTU 18.04

         Executing the command “uhd_usrp_probe”

         I obtain a lot of [WARNING][UDP] related to the dimension of the
         send buffer

         Then there is the sentence:

         Please run: sudo sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=24862979

         So I’ve written in the file /etc/sysctl.conf, at the end

         net.core.wmem_max=24862979

         I restarted the host but rerunning uhd_usrp_probe I reobtain the
         same warning.

         Could you help me?

         PS: Now I’m using a 10GB Ethernet board plugged in the
         workstation, using a couple of fiber optics between the X310 and
         the work station

         Thank you

     Perhaps you have a syntax error in your sysctl file?
