+Set netlink receive buffer size. There are cases where zebra daemon can't
+handle flood of netlink messages from kernel. If you ever see "recvmsg overrun"
+messages in zebra log, you are in trouble.
+
+Solution is to increase receive buffer of netlink socket. Note that kernel
+doesn't allow to increase it over maximum value defined in
+\fI/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max\fR. If you want to do it, you have to increase
+maximum before starting zebra.
+
+Note that this affects Linux only.
