Sure.

Hint 1.  Find what rpm package installed the file.
rpm -qf /etc/sysctl.conf

Hint 2.  Find out what documentation came with that package.
rpm -qd initscripts

Hint 3.  See if you can find anything in those files.
(I didn't).

Hint 4.  Search for "linux sysctl howto"
(Reading a few pages let me know that it won't be a simple
webpage with all the answers.)

Hint 5.  Search for "linux sysctl parameters"
(One hit looks pretty good.  Read it for advice.)

Hint 6.  Search for "linux sysctl bridgen"
Have fun!
