You can change these values 'on the fly' without having to reboot.

With root privileges, you can use the sysctl tool. The arguments are exactly the same format as each line in the file /etc/sysctl.conf. As an example:

sudo sysctl net.inet.udp.recvspace=42080

To re-run the entire file, you could do something like:

while read line;do sudo sysctl $line;done < /etc/sysctl.conf
