Packet socket receive buffers default to the sysctl value of net.core.rmem_default and are capped by net.core.rmem_max both which are usually set to 208KB on most systems. Since we can't expect every gVisor user to bump these we use SO_RCVBUFFORCE to exceed the limit. This is possible as runsc runs with CAP_NET_ADMIN outside the sandbox and can do this before the FD is passed to the sentry inside the sandbox.

AF_PACKET sockets have a small receive buffer by default capped by net.core.rmem_max which usually defaults to a tiny 208kb on most linux systems. We should use at least a 4MB buffer to allow for less drops during high throughput transfers.
