| 2 | |
| 3 | nf_conntrack_acct - BOOLEAN |
| 4 | 0 - disabled (default) |
| 5 | not 0 - enabled |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Enable connection tracking flow accounting. 64-bit byte and packet |
| 8 | counters per flow are added. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | nf_conntrack_buckets - INTEGER (read-only) |
| 11 | Size of hash table. If not specified as parameter during module |
| 12 | loading, the default size is calculated by dividing total memory |
| 13 | by 16384 to determine the number of buckets but the hash table will |
| 14 | never have fewer than 32 or more than 16384 buckets. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN |
| 17 | 0 - disabled |
| 18 | not 0 - enabled (default) |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Verify checksum of incoming packets. Packets with bad checksums are |
| 21 | in INVALID state. If this is enabled, such packets will not be |
| 22 | considered for connection tracking. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only) |
| 25 | Number of currently allocated flow entries. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN |
| 28 | 0 - disabled |
| 29 | not 0 - enabled (default) |
| 30 | |
| 31 | If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will |
| 32 | provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | nf_conntrack_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 35 | default 15 |
| 36 | |
| 37 | This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking |
| 38 | events" are used. Normally, ctnetlink is "lossy", that is, |
| 39 | events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Userspace can request "reliable event mode". When this mode is |
| 42 | active, the conntrack will only be destroyed after the event was |
| 43 | delivered. If event delivery fails, the kernel periodically |
| 44 | re-tries to send the event to userspace. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying |
| 47 | to deliver the destroy event. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it |
| 50 | will take longer for a backlog to be processed. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER |
| 53 | Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is |
| 54 | nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER |
| 57 | default 262144 |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When |
| 60 | nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this |
| 61 | purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until |
| 62 | nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER |
| 65 | default 196608 |
| 66 | |
| 67 | See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh |
| 68 | |
| 69 | nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 70 | default 60 |
| 71 | |
| 72 | Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 75 | default 600 |
| 76 | |
| 77 | Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported |
| 78 | protocols. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN |
| 81 | 0 - disabled |
| 82 | not 0 - enabled (default) |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 87 | default 30 |
| 88 | |
| 89 | Default for ICMP timeout. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 92 | default 30 |
| 93 | |
| 94 | Default for ICMP6 timeout. |
| 95 | |
| 96 | nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER |
| 97 | 0 - disable (default) |
| 98 | 1 - log ICMP packets |
| 99 | 6 - log TCP packets |
| 100 | 17 - log UDP packets |
| 101 | 33 - log DCCP packets |
| 102 | 41 - log ICMPv6 packets |
| 103 | 136 - log UDPLITE packets |
| 104 | 255 - log packets of any protocol |
| 105 | |
| 106 | Log invalid packets of a type specified by value. |
| 107 | |
| 108 | nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER |
| 109 | Size of connection tracking table. Default value is |
| 110 | nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4. |
| 111 | |
| 112 | nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN |
| 113 | 0 - disabled (default) |
| 114 | not 0 - enabled |
| 115 | |
| 116 | Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others. |
| 117 | If it's non-zero, we mark only out of window RST segments as INVALID. |
| 118 | |
| 119 | nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN |
| 120 | 0 - disabled |
| 121 | not 0 - enabled (default) |
| 122 | |
| 123 | If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established |
| 124 | connections. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER |
| 127 | default 3 |
| 128 | |
| 129 | Maximum number of packets that can be retransmitted without |
| 130 | received an (acceptable) ACK from the destination. If this number |
| 131 | is reached, a shorter timer will be started. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 134 | default 10 |
| 135 | |
| 136 | nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 137 | default 60 |
| 138 | |
| 139 | nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 140 | default 432000 (5 days) |
| 141 | |

| 146 | default 30 |
| 147 | |
| 148 | nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_max_retrans - INTEGER (seconds) |
| 149 | default 300 |
