I can successfully change the following two UDP parameters temporarily
using ndd:

    # ndd -set /dev/udp udp_xmit_hiwat 65536
    # ndd -set /dev/udp udp_recv_hiwat 65536

but all my attempts to set them permanently in /etc/system have failed.
I have tried the following permutations:

    set udp:udp_xmit_hiwat=65536
    set ip:udp_xmit_hiwat=65536
    set ndd:udp_xmit_hiwat=65536
    set udp_xmit_hiwat=65536

and each time after reboot, the value is still at the default 57344

This is Solaris 10, X86_64.

(As a temporary workaround, I have added the ndd commands to an rc
script.)
