you either activate it (what you put in the /etc/sysctl.conf file) with -p option or it will be set on reboot. the advantage of reboot is that all programs will take notice of this option, while when changing it in run time, it could be that some programs still use the old value until tcp conn closes. this is how i understand it regards
