Show the default and maximum amount for the receive socket memory:

See TCP buffer space:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem
## Default receive socket buffer size ##
cat /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default 
## Maximum receive socket buffer size ##
cat /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max

View the default and maximum amount for the send socket memory:

## The default setting (in bytes) of the socket send buffer ##
cat /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default
## The maximum send socket buffer size in bytes. ##

cat /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max

The maximum amount of option memory buffers:

To see maximum ancillary buffer size allowed per socket. Ancillary data is a sequenceof struct cmsghdr structures with appended data:

cat /proc/sys/net/core/optmem_max

View socket statistics

cat /proc/net/sockstat
