What do each of these "net*" parameters represent?  TIA.

We use the following option and decreased our backup time by 30 %:

net.core.rmem_max=8388608
net.core.wmem_max=8388608
net.core.wmem_default=8388608
net.core.rmem_default=8388608
net.core.netdev_max_backlog=4096
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = "4096 87380 4194304"
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = "4096 87380 4194304"
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = "4096 87380 4194304"

Download the Linux kernel source and look in:

        ./Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt

They're basically increasing the networking stack buffer sizes and backlog in order to improve performance an a high-bandwidth, low-latency network.
