Greetings, I have been searching the Internet for a final answer what the values in net.ipv4.tcp_mem mean. I have seen some sites say it is in memory pages (4K blocks) and other have said it is in KB. What the real answer? Thanks Paul

It's in pages, as described in Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt. A lot of people have this wrong. If you find any incorrect sites, could you point them out or send mail to their maintainers? I've gotten a few corrected that I've noticed so far. -John
