For parameters changed via /proc fs, changes across reboots can also be
"saved" in /etc/sysctl.conf

cat /etc/sysctl.conf
#
# /etc/sysctl.conf - Configuration file for setting system variables
# See sysctl.conf (5) for information.
#
#kernel.domainname = example.com
#net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=1
net/ipv4/ip_forward=1
