... or edit /etc/sysctl.conf and increase all IP buffer sizes. For example:

# IP network performance tuning:
net.core.rmem_max = 67108864
net.core.wmem_max = 67108864
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 3932160 62914560
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 196608 3145728
net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min = 1048576
net.ipv4.udp_wmem_min = 1048576

Add this to the end of the file. These parameters are documented in the 
manpages tcp(7) and udp(7). One can read the active values with i.e.:

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/udp_rmem_min

The default value for the last two parameters is only 4K bytes. It might 
be a good idea to tune the networking in any case.
