Fix the behavior of allowing both sysctl and addrconf_dad_failure() to set the disable_ipv6 parameter without any bad side-effects. If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1, but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be added in the first place. This also lets the user set this flag and disable all IPv6 addresses on the interface, or on the entire system. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/* Variables:
|
|
|
|
ip_forward - BOOLEAN
|
|
0 - disabled (default)
|
|
not 0 - enabled
|
|
|
|
Forward Packets between interfaces.
|
|
|
|
This variable is special, its change resets all configuration
|
|
parameters to their default state (RFC1122 for hosts, RFC1812
|
|
for routers)
|
|
|
|
ip_default_ttl - INTEGER
|
|
default 64
|
|
|
|
ip_no_pmtu_disc - BOOLEAN
|
|
Disable Path MTU Discovery.
|
|
default FALSE
|
|
|
|
min_pmtu - INTEGER
|
|
default 562 - minimum discovered Path MTU
|
|
|
|
mtu_expires - INTEGER
|
|
Time, in seconds, that cached PMTU information is kept.
|
|
|
|
min_adv_mss - INTEGER
|
|
The advertised MSS depends on the first hop route MTU, but will
|
|
never be lower than this setting.
|
|
|
|
rt_cache_rebuild_count - INTEGER
|
|
The per net-namespace route cache emergency rebuild threshold.
|
|
Any net-namespace having its route cache rebuilt due to
|
|
a hash bucket chain being too long more than this many times
|
|
will have its route caching disabled
|
|
|
|
IP Fragmentation:
|
|
|
|
ipfrag_high_thresh - INTEGER
|
|
Maximum memory used to reassemble IP fragments. When
|
|
ipfrag_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this purpose,
|
|
the fragment handler will toss packets until ipfrag_low_thresh
|
|
is reached.
|
|
|
|
ipfrag_low_thresh - INTEGER
|
|
See ipfrag_high_thresh
|
|
|
|
ipfrag_time - INTEGER
|
|
Time in seconds to keep an IP fragment in memory.
|
|
|
|
ipfrag_secret_interval - INTEGER
|
|
Regeneration interval (in seconds) of the hash secret (or lifetime
|
|
for the hash secret) for IP fragments.
|
|
Default: 600
|
|
|
|
ipfrag_max_dist - INTEGER
|
|
ipfrag_max_dist is a non-negative integer value which defines the
|
|
maximum "disorder" which is allowed among fragments which share a
|
|
common IP source address. Note that reordering of packets is
|
|
not unusual, but if a large number of fragments arrive from a source
|
|
IP address while a particular fragment queue remains incomplete, it
|
|
probably indicates that one or more fragments belonging to that queue
|
|
have been lost. When ipfrag_max_dist is positive, an additional check
|
|
is done on fragments before they are added to a reassembly queue - if
|
|
ipfrag_max_dist (or more) fragments have arrived from a particular IP
|
|
address between additions to any IP fragment queue using that source
|
|
address, it's presumed that one or more fragments in the queue are
|
|
lost. The existing fragment queue will be dropped, and a new one
|
|
started. An ipfrag_max_dist value of zero disables this check.
|
|
|
|
Using a very small value, e.g. 1 or 2, for ipfrag_max_dist can
|
|
result in unnecessarily dropping fragment queues when normal
|
|
reordering of packets occurs, which could lead to poor application
|
|
performance. Using a very large value, e.g. 50000, increases the
|
|
likelihood of incorrectly reassembling IP fragments that originate
|
|
from different IP datagrams, which could result in data corruption.
|
|
Default: 64
|
|
|
|
INET peer storage:
|
|
|
|
inet_peer_threshold - INTEGER
|
|
The approximate size of the storage. Starting from this threshold
|
|
entries will be thrown aggressively. This threshold also determines
|
|
entries' time-to-live and time intervals between garbage collection
|
|
passes. More entries, less time-to-live, less GC interval.
|
|
|
|
inet_peer_minttl - INTEGER
|
|
Minimum time-to-live of entries. Should be enough to cover fragment
|
|
time-to-live on the reassembling side. This minimum time-to-live is
|
|
guaranteed if the pool size is less than inet_peer_threshold.
|
|
Measured in seconds.
|
|
|
|
inet_peer_maxttl - INTEGER
|
|
Maximum time-to-live of entries. Unused entries will expire after
|
|
this period of time if there is no memory pressure on the pool (i.e.
|
|
when the number of entries in the pool is very small).
|
|
Measured in seconds.
|
|
|
|
inet_peer_gc_mintime - INTEGER
|
|
Minimum interval between garbage collection passes. This interval is
|
|
in effect under high memory pressure on the pool.
|
|
Measured in seconds.
|
|
|
|
inet_peer_gc_maxtime - INTEGER
|
|
Minimum interval between garbage collection passes. This interval is
|
|
in effect under low (or absent) memory pressure on the pool.
|
|
Measured in seconds.
|
|
|
|
TCP variables:
|
|
|
|
somaxconn - INTEGER
|
|
Limit of socket listen() backlog, known in userspace as SOMAXCONN.
|
|
Defaults to 128. See also tcp_max_syn_backlog for additional tuning
|
|
for TCP sockets.
|
|
|
|
tcp_abc - INTEGER
|
|
Controls Appropriate Byte Count (ABC) defined in RFC3465.
|
|
ABC is a way of increasing congestion window (cwnd) more slowly
|
|
in response to partial acknowledgments.
|
|
Possible values are:
|
|
0 increase cwnd once per acknowledgment (no ABC)
|
|
1 increase cwnd once per acknowledgment of full sized segment
|
|
2 allow increase cwnd by two if acknowledgment is
|
|
of two segments to compensate for delayed acknowledgments.
|
|
Default: 0 (off)
|
|
|
|
tcp_abort_on_overflow - BOOLEAN
|
|
If listening service is too slow to accept new connections,
|
|
reset them. Default state is FALSE. It means that if overflow
|
|
occurred due to a burst, connection will recover. Enable this
|
|
option _only_ if you are really sure that listening daemon
|
|
cannot be tuned to accept connections faster. Enabling this
|
|
option can harm clients of your server.
|
|
|
|
tcp_adv_win_scale - INTEGER
|
|
Count buffering overhead as bytes/2^tcp_adv_win_scale
|
|
(if tcp_adv_win_scale > 0) or bytes-bytes/2^(-tcp_adv_win_scale),
|
|
if it is <= 0.
|
|
Default: 2
|
|
|
|
tcp_allowed_congestion_control - STRING
|
|
Show/set the congestion control choices available to non-privileged
|
|
processes. The list is a subset of those listed in
|
|
tcp_available_congestion_control.
|
|
Default is "reno" and the default setting (tcp_congestion_control).
|
|
|
|
tcp_app_win - INTEGER
|
|
Reserve max(window/2^tcp_app_win, mss) of window for application
|
|
buffer. Value 0 is special, it means that nothing is reserved.
|
|
Default: 31
|
|
|
|
tcp_available_congestion_control - STRING
|
|
Shows the available congestion control choices that are registered.
|
|
More congestion control algorithms may be available as modules,
|
|
but not loaded.
|
|
|
|
tcp_base_mss - INTEGER
|
|
The initial value of search_low to be used by the packetization layer
|
|
Path MTU discovery (MTU probing). If MTU probing is enabled,
|
|
this is the initial MSS used by the connection.
|
|
|
|
tcp_congestion_control - STRING
|
|
Set the congestion control algorithm to be used for new
|
|
connections. The algorithm "reno" is always available, but
|
|
additional choices may be available based on kernel configuration.
|
|
Default is set as part of kernel configuration.
|
|
|
|
tcp_dsack - BOOLEAN
|
|
Allows TCP to send "duplicate" SACKs.
|
|
|
|
tcp_ecn - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable Explicit Congestion Notification in TCP.
|
|
|
|
tcp_fack - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable FACK congestion avoidance and fast retransmission.
|
|
The value is not used, if tcp_sack is not enabled.
|
|
|
|
tcp_fin_timeout - INTEGER
|
|
Time to hold socket in state FIN-WAIT-2, if it was closed
|
|
by our side. Peer can be broken and never close its side,
|
|
or even died unexpectedly. Default value is 60sec.
|
|
Usual value used in 2.2 was 180 seconds, you may restore
|
|
it, but remember that if your machine is even underloaded WEB server,
|
|
you risk to overflow memory with kilotons of dead sockets,
|
|
FIN-WAIT-2 sockets are less dangerous than FIN-WAIT-1,
|
|
because they eat maximum 1.5K of memory, but they tend
|
|
to live longer. Cf. tcp_max_orphans.
|
|
|
|
tcp_frto - INTEGER
|
|
Enables Forward RTO-Recovery (F-RTO) defined in RFC4138.
|
|
F-RTO is an enhanced recovery algorithm for TCP retransmission
|
|
timeouts. It is particularly beneficial in wireless environments
|
|
where packet loss is typically due to random radio interference
|
|
rather than intermediate router congestion. F-RTO is sender-side
|
|
only modification. Therefore it does not require any support from
|
|
the peer.
|
|
|
|
If set to 1, basic version is enabled. 2 enables SACK enhanced
|
|
F-RTO if flow uses SACK. The basic version can be used also when
|
|
SACK is in use though scenario(s) with it exists where F-RTO
|
|
interacts badly with the packet counting of the SACK enabled TCP
|
|
flow.
|
|
|
|
tcp_frto_response - INTEGER
|
|
When F-RTO has detected that a TCP retransmission timeout was
|
|
spurious (i.e, the timeout would have been avoided had TCP set a
|
|
longer retransmission timeout), TCP has several options what to do
|
|
next. Possible values are:
|
|
0 Rate halving based; a smooth and conservative response,
|
|
results in halved cwnd and ssthresh after one RTT
|
|
1 Very conservative response; not recommended because even
|
|
though being valid, it interacts poorly with the rest of
|
|
Linux TCP, halves cwnd and ssthresh immediately
|
|
2 Aggressive response; undoes congestion control measures
|
|
that are now known to be unnecessary (ignoring the
|
|
possibility of a lost retransmission that would require
|
|
TCP to be more cautious), cwnd and ssthresh are restored
|
|
to the values prior timeout
|
|
Default: 0 (rate halving based)
|
|
|
|
tcp_keepalive_time - INTEGER
|
|
How often TCP sends out keepalive messages when keepalive is enabled.
|
|
Default: 2hours.
|
|
|
|
tcp_keepalive_probes - INTEGER
|
|
How many keepalive probes TCP sends out, until it decides that the
|
|
connection is broken. Default value: 9.
|
|
|
|
tcp_keepalive_intvl - INTEGER
|
|
How frequently the probes are send out. Multiplied by
|
|
tcp_keepalive_probes it is time to kill not responding connection,
|
|
after probes started. Default value: 75sec i.e. connection
|
|
will be aborted after ~11 minutes of retries.
|
|
|
|
tcp_low_latency - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set, the TCP stack makes decisions that prefer lower
|
|
latency as opposed to higher throughput. By default, this
|
|
option is not set meaning that higher throughput is preferred.
|
|
An example of an application where this default should be
|
|
changed would be a Beowulf compute cluster.
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
tcp_max_orphans - INTEGER
|
|
Maximal number of TCP sockets not attached to any user file handle,
|
|
held by system. If this number is exceeded orphaned connections are
|
|
reset immediately and warning is printed. This limit exists
|
|
only to prevent simple DoS attacks, you _must_ not rely on this
|
|
or lower the limit artificially, but rather increase it
|
|
(probably, after increasing installed memory),
|
|
if network conditions require more than default value,
|
|
and tune network services to linger and kill such states
|
|
more aggressively. Let me to remind again: each orphan eats
|
|
up to ~64K of unswappable memory.
|
|
|
|
tcp_max_syn_backlog - INTEGER
|
|
Maximal number of remembered connection requests, which are
|
|
still did not receive an acknowledgment from connecting client.
|
|
Default value is 1024 for systems with more than 128Mb of memory,
|
|
and 128 for low memory machines. If server suffers of overload,
|
|
try to increase this number.
|
|
|
|
tcp_max_tw_buckets - INTEGER
|
|
Maximal number of timewait sockets held by system simultaneously.
|
|
If this number is exceeded time-wait socket is immediately destroyed
|
|
and warning is printed. This limit exists only to prevent
|
|
simple DoS attacks, you _must_ not lower the limit artificially,
|
|
but rather increase it (probably, after increasing installed memory),
|
|
if network conditions require more than default value.
|
|
|
|
tcp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
|
|
min: below this number of pages TCP is not bothered about its
|
|
memory appetite.
|
|
|
|
pressure: when amount of memory allocated by TCP exceeds this number
|
|
of pages, TCP moderates its memory consumption and enters memory
|
|
pressure mode, which is exited when memory consumption falls
|
|
under "min".
|
|
|
|
max: number of pages allowed for queueing by all TCP sockets.
|
|
|
|
Defaults are calculated at boot time from amount of available
|
|
memory.
|
|
|
|
tcp_moderate_rcvbuf - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set, TCP performs receive buffer auto-tuning, attempting to
|
|
automatically size the buffer (no greater than tcp_rmem[2]) to
|
|
match the size required by the path for full throughput. Enabled by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
tcp_mtu_probing - INTEGER
|
|
Controls TCP Packetization-Layer Path MTU Discovery. Takes three
|
|
values:
|
|
0 - Disabled
|
|
1 - Disabled by default, enabled when an ICMP black hole detected
|
|
2 - Always enabled, use initial MSS of tcp_base_mss.
|
|
|
|
tcp_no_metrics_save - BOOLEAN
|
|
By default, TCP saves various connection metrics in the route cache
|
|
when the connection closes, so that connections established in the
|
|
near future can use these to set initial conditions. Usually, this
|
|
increases overall performance, but may sometimes cause performance
|
|
degradation. If set, TCP will not cache metrics on closing
|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|
tcp_orphan_retries - INTEGER
|
|
How may times to retry before killing TCP connection, closed
|
|
by our side. Default value 7 corresponds to ~50sec-16min
|
|
depending on RTO. If you machine is loaded WEB server,
|
|
you should think about lowering this value, such sockets
|
|
may consume significant resources. Cf. tcp_max_orphans.
|
|
|
|
tcp_reordering - INTEGER
|
|
Maximal reordering of packets in a TCP stream.
|
|
Default: 3
|
|
|
|
tcp_retrans_collapse - BOOLEAN
|
|
Bug-to-bug compatibility with some broken printers.
|
|
On retransmit try to send bigger packets to work around bugs in
|
|
certain TCP stacks.
|
|
|
|
tcp_retries1 - INTEGER
|
|
How many times to retry before deciding that something is wrong
|
|
and it is necessary to report this suspicion to network layer.
|
|
Minimal RFC value is 3, it is default, which corresponds
|
|
to ~3sec-8min depending on RTO.
|
|
|
|
tcp_retries2 - INTEGER
|
|
How may times to retry before killing alive TCP connection.
|
|
RFC1122 says that the limit should be longer than 100 sec.
|
|
It is too small number. Default value 15 corresponds to ~13-30min
|
|
depending on RTO.
|
|
|
|
tcp_rfc1337 - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set, the TCP stack behaves conforming to RFC1337. If unset,
|
|
we are not conforming to RFC, but prevent TCP TIME_WAIT
|
|
assassination.
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
tcp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
|
|
min: Minimal size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
|
|
It is guaranteed to each TCP socket, even under moderate memory
|
|
pressure.
|
|
Default: 8K
|
|
|
|
default: initial size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
|
|
This value overrides net.core.rmem_default used by other protocols.
|
|
Default: 87380 bytes. This value results in window of 65535 with
|
|
default setting of tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_app_win:0 and a bit
|
|
less for default tcp_app_win. See below about these variables.
|
|
|
|
max: maximal size of receive buffer allowed for automatically
|
|
selected receiver buffers for TCP socket. This value does not override
|
|
net.core.rmem_max. Calling setsockopt() with SO_RCVBUF disables
|
|
automatic tuning of that socket's receive buffer size, in which
|
|
case this value is ignored.
|
|
Default: between 87380B and 4MB, depending on RAM size.
|
|
|
|
tcp_sack - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable select acknowledgments (SACKS).
|
|
|
|
tcp_slow_start_after_idle - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set, provide RFC2861 behavior and time out the congestion
|
|
window after an idle period. An idle period is defined at
|
|
the current RTO. If unset, the congestion window will not
|
|
be timed out after an idle period.
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
tcp_stdurg - BOOLEAN
|
|
Use the Host requirements interpretation of the TCP urgent pointer field.
|
|
Most hosts use the older BSD interpretation, so if you turn this on
|
|
Linux might not communicate correctly with them.
|
|
Default: FALSE
|
|
|
|
tcp_synack_retries - INTEGER
|
|
Number of times SYNACKs for a passive TCP connection attempt will
|
|
be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value
|
|
is 5, which corresponds to ~180seconds.
|
|
|
|
tcp_syncookies - BOOLEAN
|
|
Only valid when the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_SYNCOOKIES
|
|
Send out syncookies when the syn backlog queue of a socket
|
|
overflows. This is to prevent against the common 'SYN flood attack'
|
|
Default: FALSE
|
|
|
|
Note, that syncookies is fallback facility.
|
|
It MUST NOT be used to help highly loaded servers to stand
|
|
against legal connection rate. If you see SYN flood warnings
|
|
in your logs, but investigation shows that they occur
|
|
because of overload with legal connections, you should tune
|
|
another parameters until this warning disappear.
|
|
See: tcp_max_syn_backlog, tcp_synack_retries, tcp_abort_on_overflow.
|
|
|
|
syncookies seriously violate TCP protocol, do not allow
|
|
to use TCP extensions, can result in serious degradation
|
|
of some services (f.e. SMTP relaying), visible not by you,
|
|
but your clients and relays, contacting you. While you see
|
|
SYN flood warnings in logs not being really flooded, your server
|
|
is seriously misconfigured.
|
|
|
|
tcp_syn_retries - INTEGER
|
|
Number of times initial SYNs for an active TCP connection attempt
|
|
will be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value
|
|
is 5, which corresponds to ~180seconds.
|
|
|
|
tcp_timestamps - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable timestamps as defined in RFC1323.
|
|
|
|
tcp_tso_win_divisor - INTEGER
|
|
This allows control over what percentage of the congestion window
|
|
can be consumed by a single TSO frame.
|
|
The setting of this parameter is a choice between burstiness and
|
|
building larger TSO frames.
|
|
Default: 3
|
|
|
|
tcp_tw_recycle - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable fast recycling TIME-WAIT sockets. Default value is 0.
|
|
It should not be changed without advice/request of technical
|
|
experts.
|
|
|
|
tcp_tw_reuse - BOOLEAN
|
|
Allow to reuse TIME-WAIT sockets for new connections when it is
|
|
safe from protocol viewpoint. Default value is 0.
|
|
It should not be changed without advice/request of technical
|
|
experts.
|
|
|
|
tcp_window_scaling - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable window scaling as defined in RFC1323.
|
|
|
|
tcp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
|
|
min: Amount of memory reserved for send buffers for TCP sockets.
|
|
Each TCP socket has rights to use it due to fact of its birth.
|
|
Default: 4K
|
|
|
|
default: initial size of send buffer used by TCP sockets. This
|
|
value overrides net.core.wmem_default used by other protocols.
|
|
It is usually lower than net.core.wmem_default.
|
|
Default: 16K
|
|
|
|
max: Maximal amount of memory allowed for automatically tuned
|
|
send buffers for TCP sockets. This value does not override
|
|
net.core.wmem_max. Calling setsockopt() with SO_SNDBUF disables
|
|
automatic tuning of that socket's send buffer size, in which case
|
|
this value is ignored.
|
|
Default: between 64K and 4MB, depending on RAM size.
|
|
|
|
tcp_workaround_signed_windows - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set, assume no receipt of a window scaling option means the
|
|
remote TCP is broken and treats the window as a signed quantity.
|
|
If unset, assume the remote TCP is not broken even if we do
|
|
not receive a window scaling option from them.
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
tcp_dma_copybreak - INTEGER
|
|
Lower limit, in bytes, of the size of socket reads that will be
|
|
offloaded to a DMA copy engine, if one is present in the system
|
|
and CONFIG_NET_DMA is enabled.
|
|
Default: 4096
|
|
|
|
UDP variables:
|
|
|
|
udp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
|
|
Number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.
|
|
|
|
min: Below this number of pages UDP is not bothered about its
|
|
memory appetite. When amount of memory allocated by UDP exceeds
|
|
this number, UDP starts to moderate memory usage.
|
|
|
|
pressure: This value was introduced to follow format of tcp_mem.
|
|
|
|
max: Number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.
|
|
|
|
Default is calculated at boot time from amount of available memory.
|
|
|
|
udp_rmem_min - INTEGER
|
|
Minimal size of receive buffer used by UDP sockets in moderation.
|
|
Each UDP socket is able to use the size for receiving data, even if
|
|
total pages of UDP sockets exceed udp_mem pressure. The unit is byte.
|
|
Default: 4096
|
|
|
|
udp_wmem_min - INTEGER
|
|
Minimal size of send buffer used by UDP sockets in moderation.
|
|
Each UDP socket is able to use the size for sending data, even if

|
|
If set, enable additions to and lookups from the CIPSO label mapping
|
|
cache. If unset, additions are ignored and lookups always result in a
|
|
miss. However, regardless of the setting the cache is still
|
|
invalidated when required when means you can safely toggle this on and
|
|
off and the cache will always be "safe".
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
cipso_cache_bucket_size - INTEGER
|
|
The CIPSO label cache consists of a fixed size hash table with each
|
|
hash bucket containing a number of cache entries. This variable limits
|
|
the number of entries in each hash bucket; the larger the value the
|
|
more CIPSO label mappings that can be cached. When the number of
|
|
entries in a given hash bucket reaches this limit adding new entries
|
|
causes the oldest entry in the bucket to be removed to make room.
|
|
Default: 10
|
|
|
|
cipso_rbm_optfmt - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable the "Optimized Tag 1 Format" as defined in section 3.4.2.6 of
|
|
the CIPSO draft specification (see Documentation/netlabel for details).
|
|
This means that when set the CIPSO tag will be padded with empty
|
|
categories in order to make the packet data 32-bit aligned.
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
cipso_rbm_structvalid - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set, do a very strict check of the CIPSO option when
|
|
ip_options_compile() is called. If unset, relax the checks done during
|
|
ip_options_compile(). Either way is "safe" as errors are caught else
|
|
where in the CIPSO processing code but setting this to 0 (False) should
|
|
result in less work (i.e. it should be faster) but could cause problems
|
|
with other implementations that require strict checking.
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
IP Variables:
|
|
|
|
ip_local_port_range - 2 INTEGERS
|
|
Defines the local port range that is used by TCP and UDP to
|
|
choose the local port. The first number is the first, the
|
|
second the last local port number. Default value depends on
|
|
amount of memory available on the system:
|
|
> 128Mb 32768-61000
|
|
< 128Mb 1024-4999 or even less.
|
|
This number defines number of active connections, which this
|
|
system can issue simultaneously to systems not supporting
|
|
TCP extensions (timestamps). With tcp_tw_recycle enabled
|
|
(i.e. by default) range 1024-4999 is enough to issue up to
|
|
2000 connections per second to systems supporting timestamps.
|
|
|
|
ip_nonlocal_bind - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set, allows processes to bind() to non-local IP addresses,
|
|
which can be quite useful - but may break some applications.
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
ip_dynaddr - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set non-zero, enables support for dynamic addresses.
|
|
If set to a non-zero value larger than 1, a kernel log
|
|
message will be printed when dynamic address rewriting
|
|
occurs.
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
icmp_echo_ignore_all - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set non-zero, then the kernel will ignore all ICMP ECHO
|
|
requests sent to it.
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts - BOOLEAN
|
|
If set non-zero, then the kernel will ignore all ICMP ECHO and
|
|
TIMESTAMP requests sent to it via broadcast/multicast.
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
icmp_ratelimit - INTEGER
|
|
Limit the maximal rates for sending ICMP packets whose type matches
|
|
icmp_ratemask (see below) to specific targets.
|
|
0 to disable any limiting,
|
|
otherwise the minimal space between responses in milliseconds.
|
|
Default: 1000
|
|
|
|
icmp_ratemask - INTEGER
|
|
Mask made of ICMP types for which rates are being limited.
|
|
Significant bits: IHGFEDCBA9876543210
|
|
Default mask: 0000001100000011000 (6168)

|
|
|
icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses - BOOLEAN
|
|
Some routers violate RFC1122 by sending bogus responses to broadcast
|
|
frames. Such violations are normally logged via a kernel warning.
|
|
If this is set to TRUE, the kernel will not give such warnings, which
|
|
will avoid log file clutter.
|
|
Default: FALSE
|
|
|
|
icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr - BOOLEAN
|
|
|
|
If zero, icmp error messages are sent with the primary address of
|
|
the exiting interface.
|
|
|
|
If non-zero, the message will be sent with the primary address of
|
|
the interface that received the packet that caused the icmp error.
|
|
This is the behaviour network many administrators will expect from
|
|
a router. And it can make debugging complicated network layouts
|
|
much easier.
|
|
|
|
Note that if no primary address exists for the interface selected,
|
|
then the primary address of the first non-loopback interface that
|
|
has one will be used regardless of this setting.
|
|
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
igmp_max_memberships - INTEGER
|
|
Change the maximum number of multicast groups we can subscribe to.
|
|
Default: 20
|
|
|
|
conf/interface/* changes special settings per interface (where "interface" is
|
|
the name of your network interface)
|
|
conf/all/* is special, changes the settings for all interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
log_martians - BOOLEAN
|
|
Log packets with impossible addresses to kernel log.
|
|
log_martians for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
|
|
conf/{all,interface}/log_martians is set to TRUE,
|
|
it will be disabled otherwise
|
|
|
|
accept_redirects - BOOLEAN
|
|
Accept ICMP redirect messages.
|
|
accept_redirects for the interface will be enabled if:
|
|
- both conf/{all,interface}/accept_redirects are TRUE in the case
|
|
forwarding for the interface is enabled
|
|
or
|
|
- at least one of conf/{all,interface}/accept_redirects is TRUE in the
|
|
case forwarding for the interface is disabled
|
|
accept_redirects for the interface will be disabled otherwise
|
|
default TRUE (host)
|
|
FALSE (router)
|
|
|
|
forwarding - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable IP forwarding on this interface.
|
|
|
|
mc_forwarding - BOOLEAN
|
|
Do multicast routing. The kernel needs to be compiled with CONFIG_MROUTE
|
|
and a multicast routing daemon is required.
|
|
conf/all/mc_forwarding must also be set to TRUE to enable multicast
|
|
routing for the interface
|
|
|
|
medium_id - INTEGER
|
|
Integer value used to differentiate the devices by the medium they
|
|
are attached to. Two devices can have different id values when
|
|
the broadcast packets are received only on one of them.
|
|
The default value 0 means that the device is the only interface
|
|
to its medium, value of -1 means that medium is not known.
|
|
|
|
Currently, it is used to change the proxy_arp behavior:
|
|
the proxy_arp feature is enabled for packets forwarded between
|
|
two devices attached to different media.
|
|
|
|
proxy_arp - BOOLEAN
|
|
Do proxy arp.
|
|
proxy_arp for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
|
|
conf/{all,interface}/proxy_arp is set to TRUE,
|
|
it will be disabled otherwise
|
|
|
|
shared_media - BOOLEAN
|
|
Send(router) or accept(host) RFC1620 shared media redirects.
|
|
Overrides ip_secure_redirects.
|
|
shared_media for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
|
|
conf/{all,interface}/shared_media is set to TRUE,
|
|
it will be disabled otherwise
|
|
default TRUE
|
|
|
|
secure_redirects - BOOLEAN
|
|
Accept ICMP redirect messages only for gateways,
|
|
listed in default gateway list.
|
|
secure_redirects for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
|
|
conf/{all,interface}/secure_redirects is set to TRUE,
|
|
it will be disabled otherwise
|
|
default TRUE
|
|
|
|
send_redirects - BOOLEAN
|
|
Send redirects, if router.
|
|
send_redirects for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
|
|
conf/{all,interface}/send_redirects is set to TRUE,
|
|
it will be disabled otherwise
|
|
Default: TRUE
|
|
|
|
bootp_relay - BOOLEAN
|
|
Accept packets with source address 0.b.c.d destined
|
|
not to this host as local ones. It is supposed, that
|
|
BOOTP relay daemon will catch and forward such packets.
|
|
conf/all/bootp_relay must also be set to TRUE to enable BOOTP relay
|
|
for the interface
|
|
default FALSE
|
|
Not Implemented Yet.
|
|
|
|
accept_source_route - BOOLEAN
|
|
Accept packets with SRR option.
|
|
conf/all/accept_source_route must also be set to TRUE to accept packets
|
|
with SRR option on the interface
|
|
default TRUE (router)
|
|
FALSE (host)
|
|
|
|
rp_filter - INTEGER
|
|
0 - No source validation.
|
|
1 - Strict mode as defined in RFC3704 Strict Reverse Path
|
|
Each incoming packet is tested against the FIB and if the interface
|
|
is not the best reverse path the packet check will fail.
|
|
By default failed packets are discarded.
|
|
2 - Loose mode as defined in RFC3704 Loose Reverse Path
|
|
Each incoming packet's source address is also tested against the FIB
|
|
and if the source address is not reachable via any interface
|
|
the packet check will fail.
|
|
|
|
Current recommended practice in RFC3704 is to enable strict mode
|
|
to prevent IP spoofing from DDos attacks. If using asymmetric routing
|
|
or other complicated routing, then loose mode is recommended.
|
|
|
|
conf/all/rp_filter must also be set to non-zero to do source validation
|
|
on the interface
|
|
|
|
Default value is 0. Note that some distributions enable it
|
|
in startup scripts.
|
|
|
|
arp_filter - BOOLEAN
|
|
1 - Allows you to have multiple network interfaces on the same
|
|
subnet, and have the ARPs for each interface be answered
|
|
based on whether or not the kernel would route a packet from
|
|
the ARP'd IP out that interface (therefore you must use source
|
|
based routing for this to work). In other words it allows control
|
|
of which cards (usually 1) will respond to an arp request.
|
|
|
|
0 - (default) The kernel can respond to arp requests with addresses
|
|
from other interfaces. This may seem wrong but it usually makes
|
|
sense, because it increases the chance of successful communication.
|
|
IP addresses are owned by the complete host on Linux, not by
|
|
particular interfaces. Only for more complex setups like load-
|
|
balancing, does this behaviour cause problems.
|
|
|
|
arp_filter for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
|
|
conf/{all,interface}/arp_filter is set to TRUE,
|
|
it will be disabled otherwise
|
|
|
|
arp_announce - INTEGER
|
|
Define different restriction levels for announcing the local
|
|
source IP address from IP packets in ARP requests sent on
|
|
interface:
|
|
0 - (default) Use any local address, configured on any interface
|
|
1 - Try to avoid local addresses that are not in the target's
|
|
subnet for this interface. This mode is useful when target
|
|
hosts reachable via this interface require the source IP
|
|
address in ARP requests to be part of their logical network
|
|
configured on the receiving interface. When we generate the
|
|
request we will check all our subnets that include the
|
|
target IP and will preserve the source address if it is from
|
|
such subnet. If there is no such subnet we select source
|
|
address according to the rules for level 2.
|
|
2 - Always use the best local address for this target.
|
|
In this mode we ignore the source address in the IP packet
|
|
and try to select local address that we prefer for talks with
|
|
the target host. Such local address is selected by looking
|
|
for primary IP addresses on all our subnets on the outgoing
|
|
interface that include the target IP address. If no suitable
|
|
local address is found we select the first local address
|
|
we have on the outgoing interface or on all other interfaces,
|
|
with the hope we will receive reply for our request and
|
|
even sometimes no matter the source IP address we announce.
|
|
|
|
The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_announce is used.
|
|
|
|
Increasing the restriction level gives more chance for
|
|
receiving answer from the resolved target while decreasing
|
|
the level announces more valid sender's information.
|
|
|
|
arp_ignore - INTEGER
|
|
Define different modes for sending replies in response to
|
|
received ARP requests that resolve local target IP addresses:
|
|
0 - (default): reply for any local target IP address, configured
|
|
on any interface
|
|
1 - reply only if the target IP address is local address
|
|
configured on the incoming interface
|
|
2 - reply only if the target IP address is local address
|
|
configured on the incoming interface and both with the
|
|
sender's IP address are part from same subnet on this interface
|
|
3 - do not reply for local addresses configured with scope host,
|
|
only resolutions for global and link addresses are replied
|
|
4-7 - reserved
|
|
8 - do not reply for all local addresses
|
|
|
|
The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_ignore is used
|
|
when ARP request is received on the {interface}
|
|
|
|
arp_notify - BOOLEAN
|
|
Define mode for notification of address and device changes.
|
|
0 - (default): do nothing
|
|
1 - Generate gratuitous arp replies when device is brought up
|
|
or hardware address changes.
|
|
|
|
arp_accept - BOOLEAN
|
|
Define behavior when gratuitous arp replies are received:
|
|
0 - drop gratuitous arp frames
|
|
1 - accept gratuitous arp frames
|
|
|
|
app_solicit - INTEGER
|
|
The maximum number of probes to send to the user space ARP daemon
|
|
via netlink before dropping back to multicast probes (see
|
|
mcast_solicit). Defaults to 0.
|
|
|
|
disable_policy - BOOLEAN
|
|
Disable IPSEC policy (SPD) for this interface
|
|
|
|
disable_xfrm - BOOLEAN
|
|
Disable IPSEC encryption on this interface, whatever the policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tag - INTEGER
|
|
Allows you to write a number, which can be used as required.
|
|
Default value is 0.

|
interfaces; mixed router/host scenarios are rather uncommon.
|
|
|
|
FALSE:

proc/sys/net/sctp/* Variables:
|
|
|
|
addip_enable - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable or disable extension of Dynamic Address Reconfiguration
|
|
(ADD-IP) functionality specified in RFC5061. This extension provides
|
|
the ability to dynamically add and remove new addresses for the SCTP
|
|
associations.
|
|
|
|
1: Enable extension.
|
|
|
|
0: Disable extension.
|
|
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
addip_noauth_enable - BOOLEAN
|
|
Dynamic Address Reconfiguration (ADD-IP) requires the use of
|
|
authentication to protect the operations of adding or removing new
|
|
addresses. This requirement is mandated so that unauthorized hosts
|
|
would not be able to hijack associations. However, older
|
|
implementations may not have implemented this requirement while
|
|
allowing the ADD-IP extension. For reasons of interoperability,
|
|
we provide this variable to control the enforcement of the
|
|
authentication requirement.
|
|
|
|
1: Allow ADD-IP extension to be used without authentication. This
|
|
should only be set in a closed environment for interoperability
|
|
with older implementations.
|
|
|
|
0: Enforce the authentication requirement
|
|
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
auth_enable - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable or disable Authenticated Chunks extension. This extension
|
|
provides the ability to send and receive authenticated chunks and is
|
|
required for secure operation of Dynamic Address Reconfiguration
|
|
(ADD-IP) extension.
|
|
|
|
1: Enable this extension.
|
|
0: Disable this extension.
|
|
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
prsctp_enable - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable or disable the Partial Reliability extension (RFC3758) which
|
|
is used to notify peers that a given DATA should no longer be expected.
|
|
|
|
1: Enable extension
|
|
0: Disable
|
|
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
max_burst - INTEGER
|
|
The limit of the number of new packets that can be initially sent. It
|
|
controls how bursty the generated traffic can be.
|
|
|
|
Default: 4
|
|
|
|
association_max_retrans - INTEGER
|
|
Set the maximum number for retransmissions that an association can
|
|
attempt deciding that the remote end is unreachable. If this value
|
|
is exceeded, the association is terminated.
|
|
|
|
Default: 10
|
|
|
|
max_init_retransmits - INTEGER
|
|
The maximum number of retransmissions of INIT and COOKIE-ECHO chunks
|
|
that an association will attempt before declaring the destination
|
|
unreachable and terminating.
|
|
|
|
Default: 8
|
|
|
|
path_max_retrans - INTEGER
|
|
The maximum number of retransmissions that will be attempted on a given
|
|
path. Once this threshold is exceeded, the path is considered
|
|
unreachable, and new traffic will use a different path when the
|
|
association is multihomed.
|
|
|
|
Default: 5
|
|
|
|
rto_initial - INTEGER
|
|
The initial round trip timeout value in milliseconds that will be used
|
|
in calculating round trip times. This is the initial time interval
|
|
for retransmissions.
|
|
|
|
Default: 3000
|
|
|
|
rto_max - INTEGER
|
|
The maximum value (in milliseconds) of the round trip timeout. This
|
|
is the largest time interval that can elapse between retransmissions.
|
|
|
|
Default: 60000
|
|
|
|
rto_min - INTEGER
|
|
The minimum value (in milliseconds) of the round trip timeout. This
|
|
is the smallest time interval the can elapse between retransmissions.
|
|
|
|
Default: 1000
|
|
|
|
hb_interval - INTEGER
|
|
The interval (in milliseconds) between HEARTBEAT chunks. These chunks
|
|
are sent at the specified interval on idle paths to probe the state of
|
|
a given path between 2 associations.
|
|
|
|
Default: 30000
|
|
|
|
sack_timeout - INTEGER
|
|
The amount of time (in milliseconds) that the implementation will wait
|
|
to send a SACK.
|
|
|
|
Default: 200
|
|
|
|
valid_cookie_life - INTEGER
|
|
The default lifetime of the SCTP cookie (in milliseconds). The cookie
|
|
is used during association establishment.
|
|
|
|
Default: 60000
|
|
|
|
cookie_preserve_enable - BOOLEAN
|
|
Enable or disable the ability to extend the lifetime of the SCTP cookie
|
|
that is used during the establishment phase of SCTP association
|
|
|
|
1: Enable cookie lifetime extension.
|
|
0: Disable
|
|
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
rcvbuf_policy - INTEGER
|
|
Determines if the receive buffer is attributed to the socket or to
|
|
association. SCTP supports the capability to create multiple
|
|
associations on a single socket. When using this capability, it is
|
|
possible that a single stalled association that's buffering a lot
|
|
of data may block other associations from delivering their data by
|
|
consuming all of the receive buffer space. To work around this,
|
|
the rcvbuf_policy could be set to attribute the receiver buffer space
|
|
to each association instead of the socket. This prevents the described
|
|
blocking.
|
|
|
|
1: rcvbuf space is per association
|
|
0: recbuf space is per socket
|
|
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
sndbuf_policy - INTEGER
|
|
Similar to rcvbuf_policy above, this applies to send buffer space.
|
|
|
|
1: Send buffer is tracked per association
|
|
0: Send buffer is tracked per socket.
|
|
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
sctp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
|
|
Number of pages allowed for queueing by all SCTP sockets.
|
|
|
|
min: Below this number of pages SCTP is not bothered about its
|
|
memory appetite. When amount of memory allocated by SCTP exceeds
|
|
this number, SCTP starts to moderate memory usage.
|
|
|
|
pressure: This value was introduced to follow format of tcp_mem.
|
|
|
|
max: Number of pages allowed for queueing by all SCTP sockets.
|
|
|
|
Default is calculated at boot time from amount of available memory.
|
|
|
|
sctp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
|
|
See tcp_rmem for a description.
|
|
|
|
sctp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
|
|
See tcp_wmem for a description.
