The parsers SetReadBuffer to 64 MiB, but the kernel clamps that to net.core.rmem_max, which defaults far lower on a fresh host. Without raising it the rcvbuf bump from #21 is only partially effective and bursts can still drop at the socket layer. Port the operator sysctl guidance (from the now-closed #13) into the demo README.

Summary
The parsers raise
SO_RCVBUFto 64 MiB (#21) to absorb feed bursts, but the kernel clamps that request tonet.core.rmem_max— which defaults far lower on a fresh host. Without raising it, the rcvbuf bump is only partially honored and sustained bursts can still drop at the socket layer.This ports the operator sysctl guidance from the now-closed #13 into the demo README so the 64 MiB buffer can actually grow:
