|
26 |
|
|

|
|
never be lower than this setting.
|
29 |

|
|
IP Fragmentation:
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
ipfrag_high_thresh - INTEGER
|
33 |
|
|
Maximum memory used to reassemble IP fragments. When
|
34 |
|
|
ipfrag_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this purpose,
|
35 |
|
|
the fragment handler will toss packets until ipfrag_low_thresh
|
36 |
|
|
is reached.
|
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
|
|
ipfrag_low_thresh - INTEGER
|
39 |
|
|
See ipfrag_high_thresh
|
40 |
|
|
|
41 |
|
|
ipfrag_time - INTEGER
|
42 |
|
|
Time in seconds to keep an IP fragment in memory.
|
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
|
|
ipfrag_secret_interval - INTEGER
|
45 |
|
|
Regeneration interval (in seconds) of the hash secret (or lifetime
|
46 |
|
|
for the hash secret) for IP fragments.
|
47 |
|
|
Default: 600
|
48 |
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
ipfrag_max_dist - INTEGER
|
50 |
|
|
ipfrag_max_dist is a non-negative integer value which defines the
|
51 |
|
|
maximum "disorder" which is allowed among fragments which share a
|
52 |
|
|
common IP source address. Note that reordering of packets is
|
53 |
|
|
not unusual, but if a large number of fragments arrive from a source
|
54 |
|
|
IP address while a particular fragment queue remains incomplete, it
|
55 |
|
|
probably indicates that one or more fragments belonging to that queue
|
56 |
|
|
have been lost. When ipfrag_max_dist is positive, an additional check
|
57 |
|
|
is done on fragments before they are added to a reassembly queue - if
|
58 |
|
|
ipfrag_max_dist (or more) fragments have arrived from a particular IP
|
59 |
|
|
address between additions to any IP fragment queue using that source
|
60 |
|
|
address, it's presumed that one or more fragments in the queue are
|
61 |
|
|
lost. The existing fragment queue will be dropped, and a new one
|
62 |
|
|
started. An ipfrag_max_dist value of zero disables this check.
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
|
|
Using a very small value, e.g. 1 or 2, for ipfrag_max_dist can
|
65 |
|
|
result in unnecessarily dropping fragment queues when normal
|
66 |
|
|
reordering of packets occurs, which could lead to poor application
|
67 |
|
|
performance. Using a very large value, e.g. 50000, increases the
|
68 |
|
|
likelihood of incorrectly reassembling IP fragments that originate
|
69 |
|
|
from different IP datagrams, which could result in data corruption.
|
70 |
|
|
Default: 64
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
INET peer storage:
|
73 |
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
inet_peer_threshold - INTEGER
|
75 |
|
|
The approximate size of the storage. Starting from this threshold
|
76 |
|
|
entries will be thrown aggressively. This threshold also determines
|
77 |
|
|
entries' time-to-live and time intervals between garbage collection
|
78 |
|
|
passes. More entries, less time-to-live, less GC interval.
|
79 |
|
|
|
80 |
|
|
inet_peer_minttl - INTEGER
|
81 |
|
|
Minimum time-to-live of entries. Should be enough to cover fragment
|
82 |
|
|
time-to-live on the reassembling side. This minimum time-to-live is
|
83 |
|
|
guaranteed if the pool size is less than inet_peer_threshold.
|
84 |
|
|
Measured in jiffies(1).
|
85 |
|
|
|
86 |
|
|
inet_peer_maxttl - INTEGER
|
87 |
|
|
Maximum time-to-live of entries. Unused entries will expire after
|
88 |
|
|
this period of time if there is no memory pressure on the pool (i.e.
|
89 |
|
|
when the number of entries in the pool is very small).
|
90 |
|
|
Measured in jiffies(1).
|
91 |
|
|
|
92 |
|
|
inet_peer_gc_mintime - INTEGER
|
93 |
|
|
Minimum interval between garbage collection passes. This interval is
|
94 |
|
|
in effect under high memory pressure on the pool.
|
95 |
|
|
Measured in jiffies(1).
|
96 |
|
|
|
97 |
|
|
inet_peer_gc_maxtime - INTEGER
|
98 |
|
|
Minimum interval between garbage collection passes. This interval is
|
99 |
|
|
in effect under low (or absent) memory pressure on the pool.
|
100 |
|
|
Measured in jiffies(1).
|
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
|
|
TCP variables:
|
103 |
|
|
|
104 |
|
|
somaxconn - INTEGER
|
105 |
|
|
Limit of socket listen() backlog, known in userspace as SOMAXCONN.
|
106 |
|
|
Defaults to 128. See also tcp_max_syn_backlog for additional tuning
|
107 |
|
|
for TCP sockets.
|
108 |
|
|
|
109 |
|
|
tcp_abc - INTEGER
|
110 |
|
|
Controls Appropriate Byte Count (ABC) defined in RFC3465.
|
111 |
|
|
ABC is a way of increasing congestion window (cwnd) more slowly
|
112 |
|
|
in response to partial acknowledgments.
|
113 |
|
|
Possible values are:
|
114 |
|
|
|
115 |
|
|
1 increase cwnd once per acknowledgment of full sized segment
|
116 |
|
|
2 allow increase cwnd by two if acknowledgment is
|
117 |
|
|
of two segments to compensate for delayed acknowledgments.
|
118 |
|
|
Default: 0 (off)
|
119 |
|
|
|
120 |
|
|
tcp_abort_on_overflow - BOOLEAN
|
121 |
|
|
If listening service is too slow to accept new connections,
|
122 |
|
|
reset them. Default state is FALSE. It means that if overflow
|
123 |
|
|
occurred due to a burst, connection will recover. Enable this
|
124 |
|
|
option _only_ if you are really sure that listening daemon
|
125 |
|
|
cannot be tuned to accept connections faster. Enabling this
|
126 |
|
|
option can harm clients of your server.
|
127 |
|
|
|
128 |
|
|
tcp_adv_win_scale - INTEGER
|
129 |
|
|
Count buffering overhead as bytes/2^tcp_adv_win_scale
|
130 |
|
|
(if tcp_adv_win_scale > 0) or bytes-bytes/2^(-tcp_adv_win_scale),
|
131 |
|
|
if it is <= 0.
|
132 |
|
|
Default: 2
|
133 |
|
|
|
134 |
|
|
tcp_allowed_congestion_control - STRING
|
135 |
|
|
Show/set the congestion control choices available to non-privileged
|
136 |
|
|
processes. The list is a subset of those listed in
|
137 |
|
|
tcp_available_congestion_control.
|
138 |
|
|
Default is "reno" and the default setting (tcp_congestion_control).
|
139 |
|
|
|
140 |
|
|
tcp_app_win - INTEGER
|
141 |
|
|
Reserve max(window/2^tcp_app_win, mss) of window for application
|
142 |
|
|
buffer. Value 0 is special, it means that nothing is reserved.
|
143 |
|
|
Default: 31
|
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
|
|
tcp_available_congestion_control - STRING
|
146 |
|
|
Shows the available congestion control choices that are registered.
|
147 |
|
|
More congestion control algorithms may be available as modules,
|
148 |
|
|
but not loaded.
|
149 |
|
|
|
150 |
|
|
tcp_base_mss - INTEGER
|
151 |
|
|
The initial value of search_low to be used by Packetization Layer
|
152 |
|
|
Path MTU Discovery (MTU probing). If MTU probing is enabled,
|
153 |
|
|
this is the inital MSS used by the connection.
|
154 |
|
|
|
155 |
|
|
tcp_congestion_control - STRING
|
156 |
|
|
Set the congestion control algorithm to be used for new
|
157 |
|
|
connections. The algorithm "reno" is always available, but
|
158 |
|
|
additional choices may be available based on kernel configuration.
|
159 |
|
|
Default is set as part of kernel configuration.
|
160 |
|
|
|
161 |
|
|
tcp_dsack - BOOLEAN
|
162 |
|
|
Allows TCP to send "duplicate" SACKs.
|
163 |
|
|
|
164 |
|
|
tcp_ecn - BOOLEAN
|
165 |
|
|
Enable Explicit Congestion Notification in TCP.
|
166 |
|
|
|
167 |
|
|
tcp_fack - BOOLEAN
|
168 |
|
|
Enable FACK congestion avoidance and fast retransmission.
|
169 |
|
|
The value is not used, if tcp_sack is not enabled.
|
170 |
|
|
|
171 |
|
|
tcp_fin_timeout - INTEGER
|
172 |
|
|
Time to hold socket in state FIN-WAIT-2, if it was closed
|
173 |
|
|
by our side. Peer can be broken and never close its side,
|
174 |
|
|
or even died unexpectedly. Default value is 60sec.
|
175 |
|
|
Usual value used in 2.2 was 180 seconds, you may restore
|
176 |
|
|
it, but remember that if your machine is even underloaded WEB server,
|
177 |
|
|
you risk to overflow memory with kilotons of dead sockets,
|
178 |
|
|
FIN-WAIT-2 sockets are less dangerous than FIN-WAIT-1,
|
179 |
|
|
because they eat maximum 1.5K of memory, but they tend
|
180 |
|
|
to live longer. Cf. tcp_max_orphans.
|
181 |
|
|
|
182 |
|
|
tcp_frto - INTEGER
|
183 |
|
|
Enables Forward RTO-Recovery (F-RTO) defined in RFC4138.
|
184 |
|
|
F-RTO is an enhanced recovery algorithm for TCP retransmission
|
185 |
|
|
timeouts. It is particularly beneficial in wireless environments
|
186 |
|
|
where packet loss is typically due to random radio interference
|
187 |
|
|
rather than intermediate router congestion. F-RTO is sender-side
|
188 |
|
|
only modification. Therefore it does not require any support from
|
189 |
|
|
the peer, but in a typical case, however, where wireless link is
|
190 |
|
|
the local access link and most of the data flows downlink, the
|
191 |
|
|
faraway servers should have F-RTO enabled to take advantage of it.
|
192 |
|
|
If set to 1, basic version is enabled. 2 enables SACK enhanced
|
193 |
|
|
F-RTO if flow uses SACK. The basic version can be used also when
|
194 |
|
|
SACK is in use though scenario(s) with it exists where F-RTO
|
195 |
|
|
interacts badly with the packet counting of the SACK enabled TCP
|
196 |
|
|
flow.
|
197 |
|
|
|
198 |
|
|
tcp_frto_response - INTEGER
|
199 |
|
|
When F-RTO has detected that a TCP retransmission timeout was
|
200 |
|
|
spurious (i.e, the timeout would have been avoided had TCP set a
|
201 |
|
|
longer retransmission timeout), TCP has several options what to do
|
202 |
|
|
next. Possible values are:
|
203 |
|
|
|
204 |
|
|
results in halved cwnd and ssthresh after one RTT
|
205 |
|
|
1 Very conservative response; not recommended because even
|
206 |
|
|
though being valid, it interacts poorly with the rest of
|
207 |
|
|
Linux TCP, halves cwnd and ssthresh immediately
|
208 |
|
|
2 Aggressive response; undoes congestion control measures
|
209 |
|
|
that are now known to be unnecessary (ignoring the
|
210 |
|
|
possibility of a lost retransmission that would require
|
211 |
|
|
TCP to be more cautious), cwnd and ssthresh are restored
|
212 |
|
|
to the values prior timeout
|
213 |
|
|
Default: 0 (rate halving based)
|
214 |
|
|
|
215 |
|
|
tcp_keepalive_time - INTEGER
|
216 |
|
|
How often TCP sends out keepalive messages when keepalive is enabled.
|
217 |
|
|
Default: 2hours.
|
218 |
|
|
|
219 |
|
|
tcp_keepalive_probes - INTEGER
|
220 |
|
|
How many keepalive probes TCP sends out, until it decides that the
|
221 |
|
|
connection is broken. Default value: 9.
|
222 |
|
|
|
223 |
|
|
tcp_keepalive_intvl - INTEGER
|
224 |
|
|
How frequently the probes are send out. Multiplied by
|
225 |
|
|
tcp_keepalive_probes it is time to kill not responding connection,
|
226 |
|
|
after probes started. Default value: 75sec i.e. connection
|
227 |
|
|
will be aborted after ~11 minutes of retries.
|
228 |
|
|
|
229 |
|
|
tcp_low_latency - BOOLEAN
|
230 |
|
|
If set, the TCP stack makes decisions that prefer lower
|
231 |
|
|
latency as opposed to higher throughput. By default, this
|
232 |
|
|
option is not set meaning that higher throughput is preferred.
|
233 |
|
|
An example of an application where this default should be
|
234 |
|
|
changed would be a Beowulf compute cluster.
|
235 |
|
|
Default: 0
|
236 |
|
|
|
237 |
|
|
tcp_max_orphans - INTEGER
|
238 |
|
|
Maximal number of TCP sockets not attached to any user file handle,
|
239 |
|
|
held by system. If this number is exceeded orphaned connections are
|
240 |
|
|
reset immediately and warning is printed. This limit exists
|
241 |
|
|
only to prevent simple DoS attacks, you _must_ not rely on this
|
242 |
|
|
or lower the limit artificially, but rather increase it
|
243 |
|
|
(probably, after increasing installed memory),
|
244 |
|
|
if network conditions require more than default value,
|
245 |
|
|
and tune network services to linger and kill such states
|
246 |
|
|
more aggressively. Let me to remind again: each orphan eats
|
247 |
|
|
up to ~64K of unswappable memory.
|
248 |
|
|
|
249 |
|
|
tcp_max_syn_backlog - INTEGER
|
250 |
|
|
Maximal number of remembered connection requests, which are
|
251 |
|
|
still did not receive an acknowledgment from connecting client.
|
252 |
|
|
Default value is 1024 for systems with more than 128Mb of memory,
|
253 |
|
|
and 128 for low memory machines. If server suffers of overload,
|
254 |
|
|
try to increase this number.
|
255 |
|
|
|
256 |
|
|
tcp_max_tw_buckets - INTEGER
|
257 |
|
|
Maximal number of timewait sockets held by system simultaneously.
|
258 |
|
|
If this number is exceeded time-wait socket is immediately destroyed
|
259 |
|
|
and warning is printed. This limit exists only to prevent
|
260 |
|
|
simple DoS attacks, you _must_ not lower the limit artificially,
|
261 |
|
|
but rather increase it (probably, after increasing installed memory),
|
262 |
|
|
if network conditions require more than default value.
|
263 |
|
|
|
264 |
|
|
tcp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
|
265 |
|
|
min: below this number of pages TCP is not bothered about its
|
266 |
|
|
memory appetite.
|
267 |
|
|
|
268 |
|
|
pressure: when amount of memory allocated by TCP exceeds this number
|
269 |
|
|
of pages, TCP moderates its memory consumption and enters memory
|
270 |
|
|
pressure mode, which is exited when memory consumption falls
|
271 |
|
|
under "min".
|
272 |
|
|
|
273 |
|
|
max: number of pages allowed for queueing by all TCP sockets.
|
274 |
|
|
|
275 |
|
|
Defaults are calculated at boot time from amount of available
|
276 |
|
|
memory.
|
277 |
|
|
|
278 |
|
|
tcp_moderate_rcvbuf - BOOLEAN
|
279 |
|
|
If set, TCP performs receive buffer autotuning, attempting to
|
280 |
|
|
automatically size the buffer (no greater than tcp_rmem[2]) to
|
281 |
|
|
match the size required by the path for full throughput. Enabled by
|
282 |
|
|
default.
|
283 |
|
|
|
284 |
|
|
tcp_mtu_probing - INTEGER
|
285 |
|
|
Controls TCP Packetization-Layer Path MTU Discovery. Takes three
|
286 |
|
|
values:
|
287 |
|
|
|
288 |
|
|
1 - Disabled by default, enabled when an ICMP black hole detected
|
289 |
|
|
2 - Always enabled, use initial MSS of tcp_base_mss.
|
290 |
|
|
|
291 |
|
|
tcp_no_metrics_save - BOOLEAN
|
292 |
|
|
By default, TCP saves various connection metrics in the route cache
|
293 |
|
|
when the connection closes, so that connections established in the
|
294 |
|
|
near future can use these to set initial conditions. Usually, this
|
295 |
|
|
increases overall performance, but may sometimes cause performance
|
296 |
|
|
degradation. If set, TCP will not cache metrics on closing
|
297 |
|
|
connections.
|
298 |
|
|
|
299 |
|
|
tcp_orphan_retries - INTEGER
|
300 |
|
|
How may times to retry before killing TCP connection, closed
|
301 |
|
|
by our side. Default value 7 corresponds to ~50sec-16min
|
302 |
|
|
depending on RTO. If you machine is loaded WEB server,
|
303 |
|
|
you should think about lowering this value, such sockets
|
304 |
|
|
may consume significant resources. Cf. tcp_max_orphans.
|
305 |
|
|
|
306 |
|
|
tcp_reordering - INTEGER
|
307 |
|
|
Maximal reordering of packets in a TCP stream.
|
308 |
|
|
Default: 3
|
309 |
|
|
|
310 |
|
|
tcp_retrans_collapse - BOOLEAN
|
311 |
|
|
Bug-to-bug compatibility with some broken printers.
|
312 |
|
|
On retransmit try to send bigger packets to work around bugs in
|
313 |
|
|
certain TCP stacks.
|
314 |
|
|
|
315 |

tcp_retries1 - INTEGER
|
316 |
|
|
How many times to retry before deciding that something is wrong
|
317 |
|
|
and it is necessary to report this suspicion to network layer.
|
318 |
|
|
Minimal RFC value is 3, it is default, which corresponds
|
319 |
|
|
to ~3sec-8min depending on RTO.
|
320 |
|
|
|
321 |
|
|
tcp_retries2 - INTEGER
|
322 |
|
|
How may times to retry before killing alive TCP connection.
|
323 |
|
|
RFC1122 says that the limit should be longer than 100 sec.
|
324 |
|
|
It is too small number. Default value 15 corresponds to ~13-30min
|
325 |
|
|
depending on RTO.
|
326 |
|
|
|
327 |
|
|
tcp_rfc1337 - BOOLEAN
|
328 |
|
|
If set, the TCP stack behaves conforming to RFC1337. If unset,
|
329 |
|
|
we are not conforming to RFC, but prevent TCP TIME_WAIT
|
330 |
|
|
assassination.
|
331 |
|
|
Default: 0
|
332 |
|
|
|
333 |
|
|
tcp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
|
334 |
|
|
min: Minimal size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
|
335 |
|
|
It is guaranteed to each TCP socket, even under moderate memory
|
336 |
|
|
pressure.
|
337 |
|
|
Default: 8K
|
338 |
|
|
|
339 |
|
|
default: default size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
|
340 |
|
|
This value overrides net.core.rmem_default used by other protocols.
|
341 |
|
|
Default: 87380 bytes. This value results in window of 65535 with
|
342 |
|
|
default setting of tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_app_win:0 and a bit
|
343 |
|
|
less for default tcp_app_win. See below about these variables.
|
344 |
|
|
|
345 |
|
|
max: maximal size of receive buffer allowed for automatically
|
346 |
|
|
selected receiver buffers for TCP socket. This value does not override
|
347 |
|
|
net.core.rmem_max, "static" selection via SO_RCVBUF does not use this.
|
348 |
|
|
Default: 87380*2 bytes.
|
349 |
|
|
|
350 |
|
|
tcp_sack - BOOLEAN
|
351 |
|
|
Enable select acknowledgments (SACKS).
|
352 |
|
|
|
353 |
|
|
tcp_slow_start_after_idle - BOOLEAN
|
354 |
|
|
If set, provide RFC2861 behavior and time out the congestion
|
355 |
|
|
window after an idle period. An idle period is defined at
|
356 |
|
|
the current RTO. If unset, the congestion window will not
|
357 |
|
|
be timed out after an idle period.
|
358 |
|
|
Default: 1
|
359 |
|
|
|
360 |
|
|
tcp_stdurg - BOOLEAN
|
361 |
|
|
Use the Host requirements interpretation of the TCP urg pointer field.
|
362 |
|
|
Most hosts use the older BSD interpretation, so if you turn this on
|
363 |
|
|
Linux might not communicate correctly with them.
|
364 |
|
|
Default: FALSE
|
365 |
|
|
|
366 |
|
|
tcp_synack_retries - INTEGER
|
367 |
|
|
Number of times SYNACKs for a passive TCP connection attempt will
|
368 |
|
|
be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value
|
369 |
|
|
is 5, which corresponds to ~180seconds.
|
370 |
|
|
|
371 |
|
|
tcp_syncookies - BOOLEAN
|
372 |
|
|
Only valid when the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_SYNCOOKIES
|
373 |
|
|
Send out syncookies when the syn backlog queue of a socket
|
374 |
|
|
overflows. This is to prevent against the common 'syn flood attack'
|
375 |
|
|
Default: FALSE
|
376 |
|
|
|
377 |
|
|
Note, that syncookies is fallback facility.
|
378 |
|
|
It MUST NOT be used to help highly loaded servers to stand
|
379 |
|
|
against legal connection rate. If you see synflood warnings
|
380 |
|
|
in your logs, but investigation shows that they occur
|
381 |
|
|
because of overload with legal connections, you should tune
|
382 |
|
|
another parameters until this warning disappear.
|
383 |
|
|
See: tcp_max_syn_backlog, tcp_synack_retries, tcp_abort_on_overflow.
|
384 |
|
|
|
385 |
|
|
syncookies seriously violate TCP protocol, do not allow
|
386 |
|
|
to use TCP extensions, can result in serious degradation
|
387 |
|
|
of some services (f.e. SMTP relaying), visible not by you,
|
388 |
|
|
but your clients and relays, contacting you. While you see
|
389 |
|
|
synflood warnings in logs not being really flooded, your server
|
390 |
|
|
is seriously misconfigured.
|
391 |
|
|
|
392 |
|
|
tcp_syn_retries - INTEGER
|
393 |
|
|
Number of times initial SYNs for an active TCP connection attempt
|
394 |
|
|
will be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value
|
395 |
|
|
is 5, which corresponds to ~180seconds.
|
396 |
|
|
|
397 |
|
|

|
399 |
|
|
|
400 |
|
|
tcp_tso_win_divisor - INTEGER
|
401 |
|
|
This allows control over what percentage of the congestion window
|
402 |
|
|
can be consumed by a single TSO frame.
|
403 |
|
|
The setting of this parameter is a choice between burstiness and
|
404 |
|
|
building larger TSO frames.
|
405 |
|
|
Default: 3
|
406 |
|
|

411 |
|
|
|
412 |
|
|

tcp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
|
422 |
|
|
min: Amount of memory reserved for send buffers for TCP socket.
|
423 |
|
|
Each TCP socket has rights to use it due to fact of its birth.
|
424 |
|
|
Default: 4K
|
425 |
|
|
|
426 |
|
|
default: Amount of memory allowed for send buffers for TCP socket
|
427 |
|
|
by default. This value overrides net.core.wmem_default used

430 |
|
|
|
431 |
|
|
max: Maximal amount of memory allowed for automatically selected
|
432 |
|
|
send buffers for TCP socket. This value does not override
|
433 |
|
|
net.core.wmem_max, "static" selection via SO_SNDBUF does not use this.
|
434 |
|
|
Default: 128K
|
435 |
|
|
|
436 |
|
|
tcp_workaround_signed_windows - BOOLEAN
|
437 |
|
|
If set, assume no receipt of a window scaling option means the
|
438 |
|
|
remote TCP is broken and treats the window as a signed quantity.
|
439 |
|
|
If unset, assume the remote TCP is not broken even if we do
|
440 |
|
|
not receive a window scaling option from them.

|
offloaded to a DMA copy engine, if one is present in the system
|
446 |
|
|
and CONFIG_NET_DMA is enabled.
|
447 |

CIPSOv4 Variables:
|
450 |
|
|
|
451 |
|
|
cipso_cache_enable - BOOLEAN
|
452 |
|
|
If set, enable additions to and lookups from the CIPSO label mapping
|
453 |
|
|
cache. If unset, additions are ignored and lookups always result in a
|
454 |
|
|
miss. However, regardless of the setting the cache is still
|
455 |
|
|
invalidated when required when means you can safely toggle this on and
|
456 |
|
|
off and the cache will always be "safe".
|
457 |
|
|
Default: 1
|
458 |
|
|
|
459 |
|
|
cipso_cache_bucket_size - INTEGER
|
460 |
|
|
The CIPSO label cache consists of a fixed size hash table with each
|
461 |
|
|
hash bucket containing a number of cache entries. This variable limits
|
462 |
|
|
the number of entries in each hash bucket; the larger the value the
|
463 |
|
|
more CIPSO label mappings that can be cached. When the number of
|
464 |
|
|
entries in a given hash bucket reaches this limit adding new entries
|
465 |
|
|
causes the oldest entry in the bucket to be removed to make room.
|
466 |
|
|
Default: 10
|
467 |
|
|
|
468 |
|
|
cipso_rbm_optfmt - BOOLEAN
|
469 |
|
|
Enable the "Optimized Tag 1 Format" as defined in section 3.4.2.6 of
|
470 |
|
|
the CIPSO draft specification (see Documentation/netlabel for details).
|
471 |
|
|
This means that when set the CIPSO tag will be padded with empty
|
472 |
|
|
categories in order to make the packet data 32-bit aligned.
|
473 |
|
|
Default: 0
|
474 |
|
|
|
475 |
|
|
cipso_rbm_structvalid - BOOLEAN
|
476 |
|
|
If set, do a very strict check of the CIPSO option when
|
477 |
|
|
ip_options_compile() is called. If unset, relax the checks done during
|
478 |
|
|
ip_options_compile(). Either way is "safe" as errors are caught else
|
479 |
|
|
where in the CIPSO processing code but setting this to 0 (False) should
|
480 |
|
|
result in less work (i.e. it should be faster) but could cause problems
|
481 |
|
|
with other implementations that require strict checking.
|
482 |
|
|
Default: 0
|
483 |
|
|
|
484 |
|
|
IP Variables:
|
485 |
|
|
|
486 |
|
|
ip_local_port_range - 2 INTEGERS
|
487 |
|
|
Defines the local port range that is used by TCP and UDP to
|
488 |
|
|
choose the local port. The first number is the first, the
|
489 |
|
|
second the last local port number. Default value depends on
|
490 |
|
|
amount of memory available on the system:
|
491 |
|
|
> 128Mb 32768-61000
|
492 |
|
|
< 128Mb 1024-4999 or even less.
|
493 |
|
|
This number defines number of active connections, which this
|
494 |
|
|
system can issue simultaneously to systems not supporting
|
495 |
|
|
TCP extensions (timestamps). With tcp_tw_recycle enabled
|
496 |
|
|
(i.e. by default) range 1024-4999 is enough to issue up to
|
497 |
|
|
2000 connections per second to systems supporting timestamps.
|
498 |
|
|
|
499 |
|
|
ip_nonlocal_bind - BOOLEAN
|
500 |
|
|

|
507 |
|
|
message will be printed when dynamic address rewriting
|
508 |
|
|
occurs.
|
509 |
|
|

515 |
|
|
|
516 |
|
|
icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts - BOOLEAN

|
icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses - BOOLEAN
|
550 |
|
|
Some routers violate RFC1122 by sending bogus responses to broadcast
|
551 |
|
|
frames. Such violations are normally logged via a kernel warning.
|
552 |
|
|
If this is set to TRUE, the kernel will not give such warnings, which
|
553 |
|
|
will avoid log file clutter.
|
554 |
|
|
Default: FALSE
|
555 |
|
|
|
556 |
|
|
icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr - BOOLEAN
|
557 |
|
|
|
558 |

|
559 |
|
|
the exiting interface.
|
560 |
|
|
|
561 |
|
|
If non-zero, the message will be sent with the primary address of
|
562 |
|
|
the interface that received the packet that caused the icmp error.
|
563 |
|
|
This is the behaviour network many administrators will expect from
|
564 |
|
|
a router. And it can make debugging complicated network layouts
|
565 |
|
|
much easier.
|
566 |
|
|
|
567 |
|
|
Note that if no primary address exists for the interface selected,
|
568 |
|
|
then the primary address of the first non-loopback interface that
|
569 |
|
|
has one will be used regardless of this setting.
|
570 |
|
|
|
571 |
|
|
Default: 0
|
572 |
|
|
|
573 |

mc_forwarding - BOOLEAN
|
604 |
|
|
Do multicast routing. The kernel needs to be compiled with CONFIG_MROUTE
|
605 |
|
|
and a multicast routing daemon is required.
|
606 |
|
|
conf/all/mc_forwarding must also be set to TRUE to enable multicast routing

|
|
medium_id - INTEGER
|
610 |
|
|
Integer value used to differentiate the devices by the medium they

611 |
|
|
are attached to. Two devices can have different id values when
|
612 |
|
|
the broadcast packets are received only on one of them.
|
613 |
|
|
The default value 0 means that the device is the only interface
|
614 |
|
|
to its medium, value of -1 means that medium is not known.
|
615 |
|
|
|
616 |
|
|
Currently, it is used to change the proxy_arp behavior:

680 |
|
|
arp_filter - BOOLEAN
|
681 |
|
|
1 - Allows you to have multiple network interfaces on the same
|
682 |
|
|
subnet, and have the ARPs for each interface be answered
|
683 |
|
|
based on whether or not the kernel would route a packet from
|
684 |
|
|
the ARP'd IP out that interface (therefore you must use source
|
685 |
|
|
based routing for this to work). In other words it allows control
|
686 |
|
|
of which cards (usually 1) will respond to an arp request.
|
687 |
|
|
|
688 |
|
|
|
689 |
|
|
from other interfaces. This may seem wrong but it usually makes
|
690 |
|
|
sense, because it increases the chance of successful communication.
|
691 |
|
|
IP addresses are owned by the complete host on Linux, not by
|
692 |
|
|
particular interfaces. Only for more complex setups like load-
|
693 |
|
|
balancing, does this behaviour cause problems.
|
694 |
|
|
|
695 |
|
|
arp_filter for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
|
696 |
|
|
conf/{all,interface}/arp_filter is set to TRUE,
|
697 |
|
|
it will be disabled otherwise
|
698 |
|
|
|
699 |
|
|
arp_announce - INTEGER
|
700 |
|
|
Define different restriction levels for announcing the local
|
701 |
|
|
source IP address from IP packets in ARP requests sent on
|
702 |
|
|
interface:
|
703 |
|
|
|
704 |
|
|
1 - Try to avoid local addresses that are not in the target's
|
705 |
|
|
subnet for this interface. This mode is useful when target
|
706 |
|
|
hosts reachable via this interface require the source IP
|
707 |
|
|
address in ARP requests to be part of their logical network
|
708 |
|
|
configured on the receiving interface. When we generate the
|
709 |
|
|
request we will check all our subnets that include the
|
710 |
|
|
target IP and will preserve the source address if it is from
|
711 |
|
|
such subnet. If there is no such subnet we select source
|
712 |
|
|
address according to the rules for level 2.
|
713 |
|
|
2 - Always use the best local address for this target.
|
714 |
|
|
In this mode we ignore the source address in the IP packet
|
715 |
|
|
and try to select local address that we prefer for talks with
|
716 |
|
|
the target host. Such local address is selected by looking
|
717 |
|
|
for primary IP addresses on all our subnets on the outgoing
|
718 |
|
|
interface that include the target IP address. If no suitable
|
719 |
|
|
local address is found we select the first local address
|
720 |
|
|
we have on the outgoing interface or on all other interfaces,
|
721 |
|
|
with the hope we will receive reply for our request and
|
722 |
|
|
even sometimes no matter the source IP address we announce.
|
723 |
|
|
|
724 |
|
|
The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_announce is used.
|
725 |
|
|
|
726 |
|
|
Increasing the restriction level gives more chance for
|
727 |
|
|
receiving answer from the resolved target while decreasing
|
728 |
|
|
the level announces more valid sender's information.
|
729 |
|
|
|
730 |
|
|
arp_ignore - INTEGER
|
731 |
|
|
Define different modes for sending replies in response to
|
732 |
|
|
received ARP requests that resolve local target IP addresses:
|
733 |
|
|
|
734 |
|
|
on any interface
|
735 |
|
|
1 - reply only if the target IP address is local address
|
736 |
|
|
configured on the incoming interface
|
737 |
|
|
2 - reply only if the target IP address is local address
|
738 |
|
|
configured on the incoming interface and both with the
|
739 |
|
|
sender's IP address are part from same subnet on this interface
|
740 |
|
|
3 - do not reply for local addresses configured with scope host,
|
741 |
|
|
only resolutions for global and link addresses are replied
|
742 |
|
|
4-7 - reserved
|
743 |
|
|
8 - do not reply for all local addresses
|
744 |
|
|
|
745 |
|
|
The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_ignore is used
|
746 |
|
|
when ARP request is received on the {interface}
|
747 |
|
|
|
748 |
|
|
arp_accept - BOOLEAN
|
749 |
|
|
Define behavior when gratuitous arp replies are received:
|
750 |
|
|
|
751 |
|
|
1 - accept gratuitous arp frames
|
752 |
|
|
|
753 |
|
|
app_solicit - INTEGER
|
754 |
|
|
The maximum number of probes to send to the user space ARP daemon
|
755 |
|
|
via netlink before dropping back to multicast probes (see
|
756 |
|
|
mcast_solicit). Defaults to 0.

|
|
758 |
|
|
disable_policy - BOOLEAN
|
759 |
|
|
