27 | this when using large numbers of interfaces and/or routes. | |
28 | ||
29 | neigh/default/gc_thresh3 - INTEGER | |
30 | Maximum number of neighbor entries allowed. Increase this | |

47 | IP Fragmentation: |
48 | ||
49 | ipfrag_high_thresh - INTEGER | |
e18f5feb | 50 | Maximum memory used to reassemble IP fragments. When |
1da177e4 LT |
51 | ipfrag_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this purpose, |
52 | the fragment handler will toss packets until ipfrag_low_thresh | |
53 | is reached. | |
e18f5feb | 54 | |
1da177e4 | 55 | ipfrag_low_thresh - INTEGER |
e18f5feb | 56 | See ipfrag_high_thresh |
1da177e4 LT |
57 | |
58 | ipfrag_time - INTEGER | |
e18f5feb | 59 | Time in seconds to keep an IP fragment in memory. |
1da177e4 LT |
60 | |
61 | ipfrag_secret_interval - INTEGER | |
e18f5feb | 62 | Regeneration interval (in seconds) of the hash secret (or lifetime |
1da177e4 LT |
63 | for the hash secret) for IP fragments. |
64 | Default: 600 | |
65 | ||
89cee8b1 | 66 | ipfrag_max_dist - INTEGER |
e18f5feb JDB |
67 | ipfrag_max_dist is a non-negative integer value which defines the |
68 | maximum "disorder" which is allowed among fragments which share a | |
69 | common IP source address. Note that reordering of packets is | |
70 | not unusual, but if a large number of fragments arrive from a source | |
71 | IP address while a particular fragment queue remains incomplete, it | |
72 | probably indicates that one or more fragments belonging to that queue | |
73 | have been lost. When ipfrag_max_dist is positive, an additional check | |
74 | is done on fragments before they are added to a reassembly queue - if | |
75 | ipfrag_max_dist (or more) fragments have arrived from a particular IP | |
76 | address between additions to any IP fragment queue using that source | |
77 | address, it's presumed that one or more fragments in the queue are | |
78 | lost. The existing fragment queue will be dropped, and a new one | |
89cee8b1 HX |
79 | started. An ipfrag_max_dist value of zero disables this check. |
80 | ||
81 | Using a very small value, e.g. 1 or 2, for ipfrag_max_dist can | |
82 | result in unnecessarily dropping fragment queues when normal | |
e18f5feb JDB |
83 | reordering of packets occurs, which could lead to poor application |
84 | performance. Using a very large value, e.g. 50000, increases the | |
85 | likelihood of incorrectly reassembling IP fragments that originate | |
89cee8b1 HX |
86 | from different IP datagrams, which could result in data corruption. |
87 | Default: 64 | |
88 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
89 | INET peer storage: |
90 | ||
91 | inet_peer_threshold - INTEGER | |
e18f5feb | 92 | The approximate size of the storage. Starting from this threshold |
1da177e4 LT |
93 | entries will be thrown aggressively. This threshold also determines |
94 | entries' time-to-live and time intervals between garbage collection | |
95 | passes. More entries, less time-to-live, less GC interval. | |
96 | ||
97 | inet_peer_minttl - INTEGER | |
98 | Minimum time-to-live of entries. Should be enough to cover fragment | |
99 | time-to-live on the reassembling side. This minimum time-to-live is | |
100 | guaranteed if the pool size is less than inet_peer_threshold. | |
77a538d5 | 101 | Measured in seconds. |
1da177e4 LT |
102 | |
103 | inet_peer_maxttl - INTEGER | |
104 | Maximum time-to-live of entries. Unused entries will expire after | |
105 | this period of time if there is no memory pressure on the pool (i.e. | |
106 | when the number of entries in the pool is very small). | |
77a538d5 | 107 | Measured in seconds. |
1da177e4 | 108 | |
e18f5feb | 109 | TCP variables: |
1da177e4 | 110 | |
ef56e622 SH |
111 | somaxconn - INTEGER |
112 | Limit of socket listen() backlog, known in userspace as SOMAXCONN. | |
113 | Defaults to 128. See also tcp_max_syn_backlog for additional tuning | |
114 | for TCP sockets. | |
115 | ||
9772efb9 | 116 | tcp_abc - INTEGER |
b3a8a40d SH |
117 | Controls Appropriate Byte Count (ABC) defined in RFC3465. |
118 | ABC is a way of increasing congestion window (cwnd) more slowly | |
119 | in response to partial acknowledgments. | |
120 | Possible values are: | |
121 | 0 increase cwnd once per acknowledgment (no ABC) | |
122 | 1 increase cwnd once per acknowledgment of full sized segment | |
123 | 2 allow increase cwnd by two if acknowledgment is | |
124 | of two segments to compensate for delayed acknowledgments. | |
125 | Default: 0 (off) | |
9772efb9 | 126 | |
ef56e622 SH |
127 | tcp_abort_on_overflow - BOOLEAN |
128 | If listening service is too slow to accept new connections, | |
129 | reset them. Default state is FALSE. It means that if overflow | |
130 | occurred due to a burst, connection will recover. Enable this | |
131 | option _only_ if you are really sure that listening daemon | |
132 | cannot be tuned to accept connections faster. Enabling this | |
133 | option can harm clients of your server. | |
1da177e4 | 134 | |
ef56e622 SH |
135 | tcp_adv_win_scale - INTEGER |
136 | Count buffering overhead as bytes/2^tcp_adv_win_scale | |
137 | (if tcp_adv_win_scale > 0) or bytes-bytes/2^(-tcp_adv_win_scale), | |
138 | if it is <= 0. | |
0147fc05 | 139 | Possible values are [-31, 31], inclusive. |
ef56e622 | 140 | Default: 2 |
1da177e4 | 141 | |
ef56e622 SH |
142 | tcp_allowed_congestion_control - STRING |
143 | Show/set the congestion control choices available to non-privileged | |
144 | processes. The list is a subset of those listed in | |
145 | tcp_available_congestion_control. | |
146 | Default is "reno" and the default setting (tcp_congestion_control). | |
1da177e4 | 147 | |
ef56e622 SH |
148 | tcp_app_win - INTEGER |
149 | Reserve max(window/2^tcp_app_win, mss) of window for application | |
150 | buffer. Value 0 is special, it means that nothing is reserved. | |
151 | Default: 31 | |
1da177e4 | 152 | |
ef56e622 SH |
153 | tcp_available_congestion_control - STRING |
154 | Shows the available congestion control choices that are registered. | |
155 | More congestion control algorithms may be available as modules, | |
156 | but not loaded. | |
1da177e4 | 157 | |
71599cd1 | 158 | tcp_base_mss - INTEGER |
4edc2f34 SH |
159 | The initial value of search_low to be used by the packetization layer |
160 | Path MTU discovery (MTU probing). If MTU probing is enabled, | |
161 | this is the initial MSS used by the connection. | |
71599cd1 | 162 | |
ef56e622 SH |
163 | tcp_congestion_control - STRING |
164 | Set the congestion control algorithm to be used for new | |
165 | connections. The algorithm "reno" is always available, but | |
166 | additional choices may be available based on kernel configuration. | |
167 | Default is set as part of kernel configuration. | |
1da177e4 | 168 | |
519855c5 WAS |
169 | tcp_cookie_size - INTEGER |
170 | Default size of TCP Cookie Transactions (TCPCT) option, that may be | |
171 | overridden on a per socket basis by the TCPCT socket option. | |
172 | Values greater than the maximum (16) are interpreted as the maximum. | |
173 | Values greater than zero and less than the minimum (8) are interpreted | |
174 | as the minimum. Odd values are interpreted as the next even value. | |
175 | Default: 0 (off). | |
176 | ||
ef56e622 SH |
177 | tcp_dsack - BOOLEAN |
178 | Allows TCP to send "duplicate" SACKs. | |
1da177e4 | 179 | |
34a6ef38 | 180 | tcp_ecn - INTEGER |
255cac91 IJ |
181 | Enable Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in TCP. ECN is only |
182 | used when both ends of the TCP flow support it. It is useful to | |
183 | avoid losses due to congestion (when the bottleneck router supports | |
184 | ECN). | |
185 | Possible values are: | |
186 | 0 disable ECN | |
187 | 1 ECN enabled | |
188 | 2 Only server-side ECN enabled. If the other end does | |
189 | not support ECN, behavior is like with ECN disabled. | |
190 | Default: 2 | |
ef56e622 SH |
191 | |
192 | tcp_fack - BOOLEAN | |
193 | Enable FACK congestion avoidance and fast retransmission. | |
194 | The value is not used, if tcp_sack is not enabled. | |
1da177e4 LT |
195 | |
196 | tcp_fin_timeout - INTEGER | |
197 | Time to hold socket in state FIN-WAIT-2, if it was closed | |
198 | by our side. Peer can be broken and never close its side, | |
199 | or even died unexpectedly. Default value is 60sec. | |
200 | Usual value used in 2.2 was 180 seconds, you may restore | |
201 | it, but remember that if your machine is even underloaded WEB server, | |
202 | you risk to overflow memory with kilotons of dead sockets, | |
203 | FIN-WAIT-2 sockets are less dangerous than FIN-WAIT-1, | |
204 | because they eat maximum 1.5K of memory, but they tend | |
205 | to live longer. Cf. tcp_max_orphans. | |
206 | ||
89808060 | 207 | tcp_frto - INTEGER |
cd99889c IJ |
208 | Enables Forward RTO-Recovery (F-RTO) defined in RFC4138. |
209 | F-RTO is an enhanced recovery algorithm for TCP retransmission | |
ef56e622 SH |
210 | timeouts. It is particularly beneficial in wireless environments |
211 | where packet loss is typically due to random radio interference | |
564262c1 | 212 | rather than intermediate router congestion. F-RTO is sender-side |
4edc2f34 SH |
213 | only modification. Therefore it does not require any support from |
214 | the peer. | |
215 | ||
cd99889c IJ |
216 | If set to 1, basic version is enabled. 2 enables SACK enhanced |
217 | F-RTO if flow uses SACK. The basic version can be used also when | |
564262c1 | 218 | SACK is in use though scenario(s) with it exists where F-RTO |
cd99889c IJ |
219 | interacts badly with the packet counting of the SACK enabled TCP |
220 | flow. | |
1da177e4 | 221 | |
89808060 IJ |
222 | tcp_frto_response - INTEGER |
223 | When F-RTO has detected that a TCP retransmission timeout was | |
224 | spurious (i.e, the timeout would have been avoided had TCP set a | |
225 | longer retransmission timeout), TCP has several options what to do | |
226 | next. Possible values are: | |
227 | 0 Rate halving based; a smooth and conservative response, | |
228 | results in halved cwnd and ssthresh after one RTT | |
229 | 1 Very conservative response; not recommended because even | |
230 | though being valid, it interacts poorly with the rest of | |
231 | Linux TCP, halves cwnd and ssthresh immediately | |
232 | 2 Aggressive response; undoes congestion control measures | |
233 | that are now known to be unnecessary (ignoring the | |
234 | possibility of a lost retransmission that would require | |
235 | TCP to be more cautious), cwnd and ssthresh are restored | |
236 | to the values prior timeout | |
237 | Default: 0 (rate halving based) | |
238 | ||
ef56e622 SH |
239 | tcp_keepalive_time - INTEGER |
240 | How often TCP sends out keepalive messages when keepalive is enabled. | |
241 | Default: 2hours. | |
1da177e4 | 242 | |
ef56e622 SH |
243 | tcp_keepalive_probes - INTEGER |
244 | How many keepalive probes TCP sends out, until it decides that the | |
245 | connection is broken. Default value: 9. | |
246 | ||
247 | tcp_keepalive_intvl - INTEGER | |
248 | How frequently the probes are send out. Multiplied by | |
249 | tcp_keepalive_probes it is time to kill not responding connection, | |
250 | after probes started. Default value: 75sec i.e. connection | |
251 | will be aborted after ~11 minutes of retries. | |
252 | ||
253 | tcp_low_latency - BOOLEAN | |
254 | If set, the TCP stack makes decisions that prefer lower | |
255 | latency as opposed to higher throughput. By default, this | |
256 | option is not set meaning that higher throughput is preferred. | |
257 | An example of an application where this default should be | |
258 | changed would be a Beowulf compute cluster. | |
259 | Default: 0 | |
1da177e4 LT |
260 | |
261 | tcp_max_orphans - INTEGER | |
262 | Maximal number of TCP sockets not attached to any user file handle, | |
263 | held by system. If this number is exceeded orphaned connections are | |
264 | reset immediately and warning is printed. This limit exists | |
265 | only to prevent simple DoS attacks, you _must_ not rely on this | |
266 | or lower the limit artificially, but rather increase it | |
267 | (probably, after increasing installed memory), | |
268 | if network conditions require more than default value, | |
269 | and tune network services to linger and kill such states | |
270 | more aggressively. Let me to remind again: each orphan eats | |
271 | up to ~64K of unswappable memory. | |
272 | ||
81146ec1 IJ |
273 | tcp_max_ssthresh - INTEGER |
274 | Limited Slow-Start for TCP with large congestion windows (cwnd) defined in | |
275 | RFC3742. Limited slow-start is a mechanism to limit growth of the cwnd | |
276 | on the region where cwnd is larger than tcp_max_ssthresh. TCP increases cwnd | |
277 | by at most tcp_max_ssthresh segments, and by at least tcp_max_ssthresh/2 | |
278 | segments per RTT when the cwnd is above tcp_max_ssthresh. | |
279 | If TCP connection increased cwnd to thousands (or tens of thousands) segments, | |
280 | and thousands of packets were being dropped during slow-start, you can set | |
281 | tcp_max_ssthresh to improve performance for new TCP connection. | |
282 | Default: 0 (off) | |
283 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
284 | tcp_max_syn_backlog - INTEGER |
285 | Maximal number of remembered connection requests, which are | |
286 | still did not receive an acknowledgment from connecting client. | |
287 | Default value is 1024 for systems with more than 128Mb of memory, | |
288 | and 128 for low memory machines. If server suffers of overload, | |
289 | try to increase this number. | |
290 | ||
ef56e622 SH |
291 | tcp_max_tw_buckets - INTEGER |
292 | Maximal number of timewait sockets held by system simultaneously. | |
293 | If this number is exceeded time-wait socket is immediately destroyed | |
294 | and warning is printed. This limit exists only to prevent | |
295 | simple DoS attacks, you _must_ not lower the limit artificially, | |
296 | but rather increase it (probably, after increasing installed memory), | |
297 | if network conditions require more than default value. | |
1da177e4 | 298 | |
ef56e622 SH |
299 | tcp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max |
300 | min: below this number of pages TCP is not bothered about its | |
301 | memory appetite. | |
1da177e4 | 302 | |
ef56e622 SH |
303 | pressure: when amount of memory allocated by TCP exceeds this number |
304 | of pages, TCP moderates its memory consumption and enters memory | |
305 | pressure mode, which is exited when memory consumption falls | |
306 | under "min". | |
1da177e4 | 307 | |
ef56e622 | 308 | max: number of pages allowed for queueing by all TCP sockets. |
1da177e4 | 309 | |
ef56e622 SH |
310 | Defaults are calculated at boot time from amount of available |
311 | memory. | |
1da177e4 | 312 | |
71599cd1 | 313 | tcp_moderate_rcvbuf - BOOLEAN |
4edc2f34 | 314 | If set, TCP performs receive buffer auto-tuning, attempting to |
71599cd1 JH |
315 | automatically size the buffer (no greater than tcp_rmem[2]) to |
316 | match the size required by the path for full throughput. Enabled by | |
317 | default. | |
318 | ||
319 | tcp_mtu_probing - INTEGER | |
320 | Controls TCP Packetization-Layer Path MTU Discovery. Takes three | |
321 | values: | |
322 | 0 - Disabled | |
323 | 1 - Disabled by default, enabled when an ICMP black hole detected | |
324 | 2 - Always enabled, use initial MSS of tcp_base_mss. | |
325 | ||
326 | tcp_no_metrics_save - BOOLEAN | |
327 | By default, TCP saves various connection metrics in the route cache | |
328 | when the connection closes, so that connections established in the | |
329 | near future can use these to set initial conditions. Usually, this | |
330 | increases overall performance, but may sometimes cause performance | |
0f035b8e | 331 | degradation. If set, TCP will not cache metrics on closing |
71599cd1 JH |
332 | connections. |
333 | ||
ef56e622 | 334 | tcp_orphan_retries - INTEGER |
5d789229 DL |
335 | This value influences the timeout of a locally closed TCP connection, |
336 | when RTO retransmissions remain unacknowledged. | |
337 | See tcp_retries2 for more details. | |
338 | ||
06b8fc5d | 339 | The default value is 8. |
5d789229 | 340 | If your machine is a loaded WEB server, |
ef56e622 SH |
341 | you should think about lowering this value, such sockets |
342 | may consume significant resources. Cf. tcp_max_orphans. | |
1da177e4 LT |
343 | |
344 | tcp_reordering - INTEGER | |
345 | Maximal reordering of packets in a TCP stream. | |
e18f5feb | 346 | Default: 3 |
1da177e4 LT |
347 | |
348 | tcp_retrans_collapse - BOOLEAN | |
349 | Bug-to-bug compatibility with some broken printers. | |
350 | On retransmit try to send bigger packets to work around bugs in | |
351 | certain TCP stacks. | |
352 | ||
ef56e622 | 353 | tcp_retries1 - INTEGER |
5d789229 DL |
354 | This value influences the time, after which TCP decides, that |
355 | something is wrong due to unacknowledged RTO retransmissions, | |
356 | and reports this suspicion to the network layer. | |
357 | See tcp_retries2 for more details. | |
358 | ||
359 | RFC 1122 recommends at least 3 retransmissions, which is the | |
360 | default. | |
1da177e4 | 361 | |
ef56e622 | 362 | tcp_retries2 - INTEGER |
5d789229 DL |
363 | This value influences the timeout of an alive TCP connection, |
364 | when RTO retransmissions remain unacknowledged. | |
365 | Given a value of N, a hypothetical TCP connection following | |
366 | exponential backoff with an initial RTO of TCP_RTO_MIN would | |
367 | retransmit N times before killing the connection at the (N+1)th RTO. | |
368 | ||
369 | The default value of 15 yields a hypothetical timeout of 924.6 | |
370 | seconds and is a lower bound for the effective timeout. | |
371 | TCP will effectively time out at the first RTO which exceeds the | |
372 | hypothetical timeout. | |
373 | ||
374 | RFC 1122 recommends at least 100 seconds for the timeout, | |
375 | which corresponds to a value of at least 8. | |
1da177e4 | 376 | |
ef56e622 SH |
377 | tcp_rfc1337 - BOOLEAN |
378 | If set, the TCP stack behaves conforming to RFC1337. If unset, | |
379 | we are not conforming to RFC, but prevent TCP TIME_WAIT | |
380 | assassination. | |
381 | Default: 0 | |
1da177e4 LT |
382 | |
383 | tcp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max | |
384 | min: Minimal size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets. | |
385 | It is guaranteed to each TCP socket, even under moderate memory | |
386 | pressure. | |
6539fefd | 387 | Default: 1 page |
1da177e4 | 388 | |
53025f5e | 389 | default: initial size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets. |
1da177e4 LT |
390 | This value overrides net.core.rmem_default used by other protocols. |
391 | Default: 87380 bytes. This value results in window of 65535 with | |
392 | default setting of tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_app_win:0 and a bit | |
393 | less for default tcp_app_win. See below about these variables. | |
394 | ||
395 | max: maximal size of receive buffer allowed for automatically | |
396 | selected receiver buffers for TCP socket. This value does not override | |
53025f5e BF |
397 | net.core.rmem_max. Calling setsockopt() with SO_RCVBUF disables |
398 | automatic tuning of that socket's receive buffer size, in which | |
399 | case this value is ignored. | |
400 | Default: between 87380B and 4MB, depending on RAM size. | |

402 | tcp_sack - BOOLEAN |
403 | Enable select acknowledgments (SACKS). | |
1da177e4 | 404 | |
ef56e622 SH |
405 | tcp_slow_start_after_idle - BOOLEAN |
406 | If set, provide RFC2861 behavior and time out the congestion | |
407 | window after an idle period. An idle period is defined at | |
408 | the current RTO. If unset, the congestion window will not | |
409 | be timed out after an idle period. | |
410 | Default: 1 | |
1da177e4 | 411 | |
ef56e622 | 412 | tcp_stdurg - BOOLEAN |
4edc2f34 | 413 | Use the Host requirements interpretation of the TCP urgent pointer field. |
ef56e622 SH |
414 | Most hosts use the older BSD interpretation, so if you turn this on |
415 | Linux might not communicate correctly with them. | |
416 | Default: FALSE | |
1da177e4 | 417 | |
ef56e622 SH |
418 | tcp_synack_retries - INTEGER |
419 | Number of times SYNACKs for a passive TCP connection attempt will | |
420 | be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value | |
421 | is 5, which corresponds to ~180seconds. | |
1da177e4 | 422 | |
ef56e622 SH |
423 | tcp_syncookies - BOOLEAN |
424 | Only valid when the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_SYNCOOKIES | |
425 | Send out syncookies when the syn backlog queue of a socket | |
4edc2f34 | 426 | overflows. This is to prevent against the common 'SYN flood attack' |
ef56e622 | 427 | Default: FALSE |
1da177e4 | 428 | |
ef56e622 SH |
429 | Note, that syncookies is fallback facility. |
430 | It MUST NOT be used to help highly loaded servers to stand | |
4edc2f34 | 431 | against legal connection rate. If you see SYN flood warnings |
ef56e622 SH |
432 | in your logs, but investigation shows that they occur |
433 | because of overload with legal connections, you should tune | |
434 | another parameters until this warning disappear. | |
435 | See: tcp_max_syn_backlog, tcp_synack_retries, tcp_abort_on_overflow. | |
1da177e4 | 436 | |
ef56e622 SH |
437 | syncookies seriously violate TCP protocol, do not allow |
438 | to use TCP extensions, can result in serious degradation | |
439 | of some services (f.e. SMTP relaying), visible not by you, | |
440 | but your clients and relays, contacting you. While you see | |
4edc2f34 | 441 | SYN flood warnings in logs not being really flooded, your server |
ef56e622 | 442 | is seriously misconfigured. |
1da177e4 | 443 | |
ef56e622 SH |
444 | tcp_syn_retries - INTEGER |
445 | Number of times initial SYNs for an active TCP connection attempt | |
446 | will be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value | |
447 | is 5, which corresponds to ~180seconds. | |

449 | tcp_timestamps - BOOLEAN | |
450 | Enable timestamps as defined in RFC1323. | |
1da177e4 | 451 | |
1da177e4 | 452 | tcp_tso_win_divisor - INTEGER |
ef56e622 SH |
453 | This allows control over what percentage of the congestion window |
454 | can be consumed by a single TSO frame. | |
455 | The setting of this parameter is a choice between burstiness and | |
456 | building larger TSO frames. | |
457 | Default: 3 | |
1da177e4 | 458 | |
ef56e622 SH |
459 | tcp_tw_recycle - BOOLEAN |
460 | Enable fast recycling TIME-WAIT sockets. Default value is 0. | |
461 | It should not be changed without advice/request of technical | |
462 | experts. | |
1da177e4 | 463 | |
ef56e622 SH |
464 | tcp_tw_reuse - BOOLEAN |
465 | Allow to reuse TIME-WAIT sockets for new connections when it is | |
466 | safe from protocol viewpoint. Default value is 0. | |
467 | It should not be changed without advice/request of technical | |
468 | experts. | |
ce7bc3bf | 469 | |
ef56e622 SH |
470 | tcp_window_scaling - BOOLEAN |
471 | Enable window scaling as defined in RFC1323. | |
3ff825b2 | 472 | |
ef56e622 | 473 | tcp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max |
53025f5e | 474 | min: Amount of memory reserved for send buffers for TCP sockets. |
ef56e622 | 475 | Each TCP socket has rights to use it due to fact of its birth. |
6539fefd | 476 | Default: 1 page |
9d7bcfc6 | 477 | |
53025f5e BF |
478 | default: initial size of send buffer used by TCP sockets. This |
479 | value overrides net.core.wmem_default used by other protocols. | |
480 | It is usually lower than net.core.wmem_default. | |
ef56e622 SH |
481 | Default: 16K |
482 | ||
53025f5e BF |
483 | max: Maximal amount of memory allowed for automatically tuned |
484 | send buffers for TCP sockets. This value does not override | |
485 | net.core.wmem_max. Calling setsockopt() with SO_SNDBUF disables | |
486 | automatic tuning of that socket's send buffer size, in which case | |
487 | this value is ignored. | |
488 | Default: between 64K and 4MB, depending on RAM size. | |
1da177e4 | 489 | |
15d99e02 RJ |
490 | tcp_workaround_signed_windows - BOOLEAN |
491 | If set, assume no receipt of a window scaling option means the | |
492 | remote TCP is broken and treats the window as a signed quantity. | |
493 | If unset, assume the remote TCP is not broken even if we do | |
494 | not receive a window scaling option from them. | |
495 | Default: 0 | |
496 | ||
72d0b7a8 CL |
497 | tcp_dma_copybreak - INTEGER |
498 | Lower limit, in bytes, of the size of socket reads that will be | |
499 | offloaded to a DMA copy engine, if one is present in the system | |
500 | and CONFIG_NET_DMA is enabled. | |
501 | Default: 4096 | |
502 | ||
36e31b0a AP |
503 | tcp_thin_linear_timeouts - BOOLEAN |
504 | Enable dynamic triggering of linear timeouts for thin streams. | |
505 | If set, a check is performed upon retransmission by timeout to | |
506 | determine if the stream is thin (less than 4 packets in flight). | |
507 | As long as the stream is found to be thin, up to 6 linear | |
508 | timeouts may be performed before exponential backoff mode is | |
509 | initiated. This improves retransmission latency for | |
510 | non-aggressive thin streams, often found to be time-dependent. | |
511 | For more information on thin streams, see | |
512 | Documentation/networking/tcp-thin.txt | |
513 | Default: 0 | |
514 | ||
7e380175 AP |
515 | tcp_thin_dupack - BOOLEAN |
516 | Enable dynamic triggering of retransmissions after one dupACK | |
517 | for thin streams. If set, a check is performed upon reception | |
518 | of a dupACK to determine if the stream is thin (less than 4 | |
519 | packets in flight). As long as the stream is found to be thin, | |
520 | data is retransmitted on the first received dupACK. This | |
521 | improves retransmission latency for non-aggressive thin | |
522 | streams, often found to be time-dependent. | |
523 | For more information on thin streams, see | |
524 | Documentation/networking/tcp-thin.txt | |

95766fff HA |
527 | UDP variables: |
528 | ||
529 | udp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max | |
530 | Number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets. | |
531 | ||
532 | min: Below this number of pages UDP is not bothered about its | |
533 | memory appetite. When amount of memory allocated by UDP exceeds | |
534 | this number, UDP starts to moderate memory usage. | |
535 | ||
536 | pressure: This value was introduced to follow format of tcp_mem. | |
537 | ||
538 | max: Number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets. | |
539 | ||
540 | Default is calculated at boot time from amount of available memory. | |
541 | ||
542 | udp_rmem_min - INTEGER | |
543 | Minimal size of receive buffer used by UDP sockets in moderation. | |
544 | Each UDP socket is able to use the size for receiving data, even if | |
545 | total pages of UDP sockets exceed udp_mem pressure. The unit is byte. | |
6539fefd | 546 | Default: 1 page |
95766fff HA |
547 | |
548 | udp_wmem_min - INTEGER | |
549 | Minimal size of send buffer used by UDP sockets in moderation. | |
550 | Each UDP socket is able to use the size for sending data, even if | |
551 | total pages of UDP sockets exceed udp_mem pressure. The unit is byte. | |

554 | CIPSOv4 Variables: |
555 | ||
556 | cipso_cache_enable - BOOLEAN | |
557 | If set, enable additions to and lookups from the CIPSO label mapping | |
558 | cache. If unset, additions are ignored and lookups always result in a | |
559 | miss. However, regardless of the setting the cache is still | |
560 | invalidated when required when means you can safely toggle this on and | |
561 | off and the cache will always be "safe". | |
562 | Default: 1 | |
563 | ||
564 | cipso_cache_bucket_size - INTEGER | |
565 | The CIPSO label cache consists of a fixed size hash table with each | |
566 | hash bucket containing a number of cache entries. This variable limits | |
567 | the number of entries in each hash bucket; the larger the value the | |
568 | more CIPSO label mappings that can be cached. When the number of | |
569 | entries in a given hash bucket reaches this limit adding new entries | |
570 | causes the oldest entry in the bucket to be removed to make room. | |
571 | Default: 10 | |
572 | ||
573 | cipso_rbm_optfmt - BOOLEAN | |
574 | Enable the "Optimized Tag 1 Format" as defined in section 3.4.2.6 of | |
575 | the CIPSO draft specification (see Documentation/netlabel for details). | |
576 | This means that when set the CIPSO tag will be padded with empty | |
577 | categories in order to make the packet data 32-bit aligned. | |
578 | Default: 0 | |
579 | ||
580 | cipso_rbm_structvalid - BOOLEAN | |
581 | If set, do a very strict check of the CIPSO option when | |
582 | ip_options_compile() is called. If unset, relax the checks done during | |
583 | ip_options_compile(). Either way is "safe" as errors are caught else | |
584 | where in the CIPSO processing code but setting this to 0 (False) should | |
585 | result in less work (i.e. it should be faster) but could cause problems | |
586 | with other implementations that require strict checking. | |
587 | Default: 0 | |
588 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
589 | IP Variables: |
590 | ||
591 | ip_local_port_range - 2 INTEGERS | |
592 | Defines the local port range that is used by TCP and UDP to | |
e18f5feb | 593 | choose the local port. The first number is the first, the |
1da177e4 LT |
594 | second the last local port number. Default value depends on |
595 | amount of memory available on the system: | |
596 | > 128Mb 32768-61000 | |
597 | < 128Mb 1024-4999 or even less. | |
598 | This number defines number of active connections, which this | |
599 | system can issue simultaneously to systems not supporting | |
600 | TCP extensions (timestamps). With tcp_tw_recycle enabled | |
601 | (i.e. by default) range 1024-4999 is enough to issue up to | |
602 | 2000 connections per second to systems supporting timestamps. | |
603 | ||
e3826f1e AW |
604 | ip_local_reserved_ports - list of comma separated ranges |
605 | Specify the ports which are reserved for known third-party | |
606 | applications. These ports will not be used by automatic port | |
607 | assignments (e.g. when calling connect() or bind() with port | |
608 | number 0). Explicit port allocation behavior is unchanged. | |
609 | ||
610 | The format used for both input and output is a comma separated | |
611 | list of ranges (e.g. "1,2-4,10-10" for ports 1, 2, 3, 4 and | |
612 | 10). Writing to the file will clear all previously reserved | |
613 | ports and update the current list with the one given in the | |
614 | input. | |
615 | ||
616 | Note that ip_local_port_range and ip_local_reserved_ports | |
617 | settings are independent and both are considered by the kernel | |
618 | when determining which ports are available for automatic port | |
619 | assignments. | |
620 | ||
621 | You can reserve ports which are not in the current | |
622 | ip_local_port_range, e.g.: | |
623 | ||
624 | $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range | |
625 | 32000 61000 | |
626 | $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_reserved_ports | |
627 | 8080,9148 | |
628 | ||
629 | although this is redundant. However such a setting is useful | |
630 | if later the port range is changed to a value that will | |
631 | include the reserved ports. | |
632 | ||
633 | Default: Empty | |
634 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
635 | ip_nonlocal_bind - BOOLEAN |
636 | If set, allows processes to bind() to non-local IP addresses, | |
637 | which can be quite useful - but may break some applications. | |
638 | Default: 0 | |
639 | ||
640 | ip_dynaddr - BOOLEAN | |
641 | If set non-zero, enables support for dynamic addresses. | |
642 | If set to a non-zero value larger than 1, a kernel log | |
643 | message will be printed when dynamic address rewriting | |
644 | occurs. | |
645 | Default: 0 | |
646 | ||
647 | icmp_echo_ignore_all - BOOLEAN | |
7ce31246 DM |
648 | If set non-zero, then the kernel will ignore all ICMP ECHO |
649 | requests sent to it. | |
650 | Default: 0 | |
651 | ||
1da177e4 | 652 | icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts - BOOLEAN |
7ce31246 DM |
653 | If set non-zero, then the kernel will ignore all ICMP ECHO and |
654 | TIMESTAMP requests sent to it via broadcast/multicast. | |
655 | Default: 1 | |
1da177e4 LT |
656 | |
657 | icmp_ratelimit - INTEGER | |
658 | Limit the maximal rates for sending ICMP packets whose type matches | |
659 | icmp_ratemask (see below) to specific targets. | |
6dbf4bca SH |
660 | 0 to disable any limiting, |
661 | otherwise the minimal space between responses in milliseconds. | |
662 | Default: 1000 | |
1da177e4 LT |
663 | |
664 | icmp_ratemask - INTEGER | |
665 | Mask made of ICMP types for which rates are being limited. | |
666 | Significant bits: IHGFEDCBA9876543210 | |
667 | Default mask: 0000001100000011000 (6168) | |
668 | ||
669 | Bit definitions (see include/linux/icmp.h): | |
670 | 0 Echo Reply | |

677 | D Timestamp Request | |
678 | E Timestamp Reply | |
679 | F Info Request | |
680 | G Info Reply | |
681 | H Address Mask Request | |
682 | I Address Mask Reply | |
683 | ||
684 | * These are rate limited by default (see default mask above) | |
685 | ||
686 | icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses - BOOLEAN | |
687 | Some routers violate RFC1122 by sending bogus responses to broadcast | |
688 | frames. Such violations are normally logged via a kernel warning. | |
689 | If this is set to TRUE, the kernel will not give such warnings, which | |
690 | will avoid log file clutter. | |
691 | Default: FALSE | |
692 | ||
95f7daf1 H |
693 | icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr - BOOLEAN |
694 | ||
695 | If zero, icmp error messages are sent with the primary address of | |
696 | the exiting interface. | |
e18f5feb | 697 | |
95f7daf1 H |
698 | If non-zero, the message will be sent with the primary address of |
699 | the interface that received the packet that caused the icmp error. | |
700 | This is the behaviour network many administrators will expect from | |
701 | a router. And it can make debugging complicated network layouts | |
e18f5feb | 702 | much easier. |
95f7daf1 H |
703 | |
704 | Note that if no primary address exists for the interface selected, | |
705 | then the primary address of the first non-loopback interface that | |
d6bc8ac9 | 706 | has one will be used regardless of this setting. |
95f7daf1 H |
707 | |
708 | Default: 0 | |
709 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
710 | igmp_max_memberships - INTEGER |
711 | Change the maximum number of multicast groups we can subscribe to. | |
712 | Default: 20 | |
713 | ||
d67ef35f JE |
714 | Theoretical maximum value is bounded by having to send a membership |
715 | report in a single datagram (i.e. the report can't span multiple | |
716 | datagrams, or risk confusing the switch and leaving groups you don't | |
717 | intend to). | |
1da177e4 | 718 | |
d67ef35f JE |
719 | The number of supported groups 'M' is bounded by the number of group |
720 | report entries you can fit into a single datagram of 65535 bytes. | |
721 | ||
722 | M = 65536-sizeof (ip header)/(sizeof(Group record)) | |
723 | ||
724 | Group records are variable length, with a minimum of 12 bytes. | |
725 | So net.ipv4.igmp_max_memberships should not be set higher than: | |
726 | ||
727 | (65536-24) / 12 = 5459 | |
728 | ||
729 | The value 5459 assumes no IP header options, so in practice | |
730 | this number may be lower. | |
731 | ||
732 | conf/interface/* changes special settings per interface (where | |
733 | "interface" is the name of your network interface) | |
734 | ||
735 | conf/all/* is special, changes the settings for all interfaces | |
1da177e4 LT |
736 | |
737 | log_martians - BOOLEAN | |
738 | Log packets with impossible addresses to kernel log. | |
739 | log_martians for the interface will be enabled if at least one of | |
740 | conf/{all,interface}/log_martians is set to TRUE, | |
741 | it will be disabled otherwise | |
742 | ||
743 | accept_redirects - BOOLEAN | |
744 | Accept ICMP redirect messages. | |
745 | accept_redirects for the interface will be enabled if: | |
e18f5feb JDB |
746 | - both conf/{all,interface}/accept_redirects are TRUE in the case |
747 | forwarding for the interface is enabled | |
1da177e4 | 748 | or |
e18f5feb JDB |
749 | - at least one of conf/{all,interface}/accept_redirects is TRUE in the |
750 | case forwarding for the interface is disabled | |
1da177e4 LT |
751 | accept_redirects for the interface will be disabled otherwise |
752 | default TRUE (host) | |
753 | FALSE (router) | |
754 | ||
755 | forwarding - BOOLEAN | |
756 | Enable IP forwarding on this interface. | |
757 | ||
758 | mc_forwarding - BOOLEAN | |
759 | Do multicast routing. The kernel needs to be compiled with CONFIG_MROUTE | |
760 | and a multicast routing daemon is required. | |
e18f5feb JDB |
761 | conf/all/mc_forwarding must also be set to TRUE to enable multicast |
762 | routing for the interface | |
1da177e4 LT |
763 | |
764 | medium_id - INTEGER | |
765 | Integer value used to differentiate the devices by the medium they | |
766 | are attached to. Two devices can have different id values when | |
767 | the broadcast packets are received only on one of them. | |
768 | The default value 0 means that the device is the only interface | |
769 | to its medium, value of -1 means that medium is not known. | |
e18f5feb | 770 | |
1da177e4 LT |
771 | Currently, it is used to change the proxy_arp behavior: |
772 | the proxy_arp feature is enabled for packets forwarded between | |
773 | two devices attached to different media. | |
774 | ||
775 | proxy_arp - BOOLEAN | |
776 | Do proxy arp. | |
777 | proxy_arp for the interface will be enabled if at least one of | |
778 | conf/{all,interface}/proxy_arp is set to TRUE, | |
779 | it will be disabled otherwise | |
780 | ||
65324144 JDB |
781 | proxy_arp_pvlan - BOOLEAN |
782 | Private VLAN proxy arp. | |
783 | Basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same interface | |
784 | (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received). | |
785 | ||
786 | This is done to support (ethernet) switch features, like RFC | |
787 | 3069, where the individual ports are NOT allowed to | |
788 | communicate with each other, but they are allowed to talk to | |
789 | the upstream router. As described in RFC 3069, it is possible | |
790 | to allow these hosts to communicate through the upstream | |
791 | router by proxy_arp'ing. Don't need to be used together with | |
792 | proxy_arp. | |
793 | ||
794 | This technology is known by different names: | |
795 | In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation. | |
796 | Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN. | |
797 | Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation. | |
798 | Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft). | |
799 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
800 | shared_media - BOOLEAN |
801 | Send(router) or accept(host) RFC1620 shared media redirects. | |
802 | Overrides ip_secure_redirects. | |
803 | shared_media for the interface will be enabled if at least one of | |
804 | conf/{all,interface}/shared_media is set to TRUE, | |
805 | it will be disabled otherwise | |
806 | default TRUE | |
807 | ||
808 | secure_redirects - BOOLEAN | |
809 | Accept ICMP redirect messages only for gateways, | |
810 | listed in default gateway list. | |
811 | secure_redirects for the interface will be enabled if at least one of | |
812 | conf/{all,interface}/secure_redirects is set to TRUE, | |
813 | it will be disabled otherwise | |
814 | default TRUE | |
815 | ||
816 | send_redirects - BOOLEAN | |
817 | Send redirects, if router. | |
818 | send_redirects for the interface will be enabled if at least one of | |
819 | conf/{all,interface}/send_redirects is set to TRUE, | |
820 | it will be disabled otherwise | |
821 | Default: TRUE | |
822 | ||
823 | bootp_relay - BOOLEAN | |
824 | Accept packets with source address 0.b.c.d destined | |
825 | not to this host as local ones. It is supposed, that | |
826 | BOOTP relay daemon will catch and forward such packets. | |
827 | conf/all/bootp_relay must also be set to TRUE to enable BOOTP relay | |
828 | for the interface | |
829 | default FALSE | |
830 | Not Implemented Yet. | |
831 | ||
832 | accept_source_route - BOOLEAN | |
833 | Accept packets with SRR option. | |
834 | conf/all/accept_source_route must also be set to TRUE to accept packets | |
835 | with SRR option on the interface | |
836 | default TRUE (router) | |
837 | FALSE (host) | |
838 | ||
8153a10c PM |
839 | accept_local - BOOLEAN |
840 | Accept packets with local source addresses. In combination with | |
841 | suitable routing, this can be used to direct packets between two | |
842 | local interfaces over the wire and have them accepted properly. | |
843 | default FALSE | |
844 | ||
c1cf8422 | 845 | rp_filter - INTEGER |
1da177e4 | 846 | 0 - No source validation. |
c1cf8422 SH |
847 | 1 - Strict mode as defined in RFC3704 Strict Reverse Path |
848 | Each incoming packet is tested against the FIB and if the interface | |
849 | is not the best reverse path the packet check will fail. | |
850 | By default failed packets are discarded. | |
851 | 2 - Loose mode as defined in RFC3704 Loose Reverse Path | |
852 | Each incoming packet's source address is also tested against the FIB | |
853 | and if the source address is not reachable via any interface | |
854 | the packet check will fail. | |
855 | ||
e18f5feb | 856 | Current recommended practice in RFC3704 is to enable strict mode |
bf869c30 | 857 | to prevent IP spoofing from DDos attacks. If using asymmetric routing |
e18f5feb | 858 | or other complicated routing, then loose mode is recommended. |
c1cf8422 | 859 | |
1f5865e7 SW |
860 | The max value from conf/{all,interface}/rp_filter is used |
861 | when doing source validation on the {interface}. | |
1da177e4 LT |
862 | |
863 | Default value is 0. Note that some distributions enable it | |
864 | in startup scripts. | |
865 | ||
866 | arp_filter - BOOLEAN | |
867 | 1 - Allows you to have multiple network interfaces on the same | |
868 | subnet, and have the ARPs for each interface be answered | |
869 | based on whether or not the kernel would route a packet from | |
870 | the ARP'd IP out that interface (therefore you must use source | |
871 | based routing for this to work). In other words it allows control | |
872 | of which cards (usually 1) will respond to an arp request. | |
873 | ||
874 | 0 - (default) The kernel can respond to arp requests with addresses | |
875 | from other interfaces. This may seem wrong but it usually makes | |
876 | sense, because it increases the chance of successful communication. | |
877 | IP addresses are owned by the complete host on Linux, not by | |
878 | particular interfaces. Only for more complex setups like load- | |
879 | balancing, does this behaviour cause problems. | |
880 | ||
881 | arp_filter for the interface will be enabled if at least one of | |
882 | conf/{all,interface}/arp_filter is set to TRUE, | |
883 | it will be disabled otherwise | |
884 | ||
885 | arp_announce - INTEGER | |
886 | Define different restriction levels for announcing the local | |
887 | source IP address from IP packets in ARP requests sent on | |
888 | interface: | |
889 | 0 - (default) Use any local address, configured on any interface | |
890 | 1 - Try to avoid local addresses that are not in the target's | |
891 | subnet for this interface. This mode is useful when target | |
892 | hosts reachable via this interface require the source IP | |
893 | address in ARP requests to be part of their logical network | |
894 | configured on the receiving interface. When we generate the | |
895 | request we will check all our subnets that include the | |
896 | target IP and will preserve the source address if it is from | |
897 | such subnet. If there is no such subnet we select source | |
898 | address according to the rules for level 2. | |
899 | 2 - Always use the best local address for this target. | |
900 | In this mode we ignore the source address in the IP packet | |
901 | and try to select local address that we prefer for talks with | |
902 | the target host. Such local address is selected by looking | |
903 | for primary IP addresses on all our subnets on the outgoing | |
904 | interface that include the target IP address. If no suitable | |
905 | local address is found we select the first local address | |
906 | we have on the outgoing interface or on all other interfaces, | |
907 | with the hope we will receive reply for our request and | |
908 | even sometimes no matter the source IP address we announce. | |
909 | ||
910 | The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_announce is used. | |
911 | ||
912 | Increasing the restriction level gives more chance for | |
913 | receiving answer from the resolved target while decreasing | |
914 | the level announces more valid sender's information. | |
915 | ||
916 | arp_ignore - INTEGER | |
917 | Define different modes for sending replies in response to | |
918 | received ARP requests that resolve local target IP addresses: | |
919 | 0 - (default): reply for any local target IP address, configured | |
920 | on any interface | |
921 | 1 - reply only if the target IP address is local address | |
922 | configured on the incoming interface | |
923 | 2 - reply only if the target IP address is local address | |
924 | configured on the incoming interface and both with the | |
925 | sender's IP address are part from same subnet on this interface | |
926 | 3 - do not reply for local addresses configured with scope host, | |
927 | only resolutions for global and link addresses are replied | |
928 | 4-7 - reserved | |
929 | 8 - do not reply for all local addresses | |
930 | ||
931 | The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_ignore is used | |
932 | when ARP request is received on the {interface} | |
933 | ||
eefef1cf SH |
934 | arp_notify - BOOLEAN |
935 | Define mode for notification of address and device changes. | |
936 | 0 - (default): do nothing | |

eefef1cf SH |
938 | or hardware address changes. |
939 | ||
c1b1bce8 | 940 | arp_accept - BOOLEAN |
6d955180 OP |
941 | Define behavior for gratuitous ARP frames who's IP is not |
942 | already present in the ARP table: | |
943 | 0 - don't create new entries in the ARP table | |
944 | 1 - create new entries in the ARP table | |
945 | ||
946 | Both replies and requests type gratuitous arp will trigger the | |
947 | ARP table to be updated, if this setting is on. | |

1233 | force_tllao - BOOLEAN |
1234 | Enable sending the target link-layer address option even when | |

1236 | Default: FALSE | |
1237 | ||
1238 | Quoting from RFC 2461, section 4.4, Target link-layer address: | |
1239 | ||
1240 | "The option MUST be included for multicast solicitations in order to | |
1241 | avoid infinite Neighbor Solicitation "recursion" when the peer node | |
1242 | does not have a cache entry to return a Neighbor Advertisements | |
1243 | message. When responding to unicast solicitations, the option can be | |
1244 | omitted since the sender of the solicitation has the correct link- | |
1245 | layer address; otherwise it would not have be able to send the unicast | |
1246 | solicitation in the first place. However, including the link-layer | |
1247 | address in this case adds little overhead and eliminates a potential | |
1248 | race condition where the sender deletes the cached link-layer address | |
1249 | prior to receiving a response to a previous solicitation." | |

1292 | proc/sys/net/sctp/* Variables: |
1293 | ||
1294 | addip_enable - BOOLEAN | |
1295 | Enable or disable extension of Dynamic Address Reconfiguration | |
1296 | (ADD-IP) functionality specified in RFC5061. This extension provides | |
1297 | the ability to dynamically add and remove new addresses for the SCTP | |
1298 | associations. | |
1299 | ||
1300 | 1: Enable extension. | |
1301 | ||
1302 | 0: Disable extension. | |
1303 | ||
1304 | Default: 0 | |
1305 | ||
1306 | addip_noauth_enable - BOOLEAN | |
1307 | Dynamic Address Reconfiguration (ADD-IP) requires the use of | |
1308 | authentication to protect the operations of adding or removing new | |
1309 | addresses. This requirement is mandated so that unauthorized hosts | |
1310 | would not be able to hijack associations. However, older | |
1311 | implementations may not have implemented this requirement while | |
1312 | allowing the ADD-IP extension. For reasons of interoperability, | |
1313 | we provide this variable to control the enforcement of the | |
1314 | authentication requirement. | |
1315 | ||
1316 | 1: Allow ADD-IP extension to be used without authentication. This | |
1317 | should only be set in a closed environment for interoperability | |
1318 | with older implementations. | |
1319 | ||
1320 | 0: Enforce the authentication requirement | |
1321 | ||
1322 | Default: 0 | |
1323 | ||
1324 | auth_enable - BOOLEAN | |
1325 | Enable or disable Authenticated Chunks extension. This extension | |
1326 | provides the ability to send and receive authenticated chunks and is | |
1327 | required for secure operation of Dynamic Address Reconfiguration | |
1328 | (ADD-IP) extension. | |
1329 | ||
1330 | 1: Enable this extension. | |
1331 | 0: Disable this extension. | |
1332 | ||
1333 | Default: 0 | |
1334 | ||
1335 | prsctp_enable - BOOLEAN | |
1336 | Enable or disable the Partial Reliability extension (RFC3758) which | |
1337 | is used to notify peers that a given DATA should no longer be expected. | |
1338 | ||
1339 | 1: Enable extension | |
1340 | 0: Disable | |
1341 | ||
1342 | Default: 1 | |
1343 | ||
1344 | max_burst - INTEGER | |

1349 | ||
1350 | association_max_retrans - INTEGER | |
1351 | Set the maximum number for retransmissions that an association can | |
1352 | attempt deciding that the remote end is unreachable. If this value | |
1353 | is exceeded, the association is terminated. | |
1354 | ||
1355 | Default: 10 | |
1356 | ||
1357 | max_init_retransmits - INTEGER | |
1358 | The maximum number of retransmissions of INIT and COOKIE-ECHO chunks | |
1359 | that an association will attempt before declaring the destination | |
1360 | unreachable and terminating. | |
1361 | ||
1362 | Default: 8 | |
1363 | ||
1364 | path_max_retrans - INTEGER | |
1365 | The maximum number of retransmissions that will be attempted on a given | |
1366 | path. Once this threshold is exceeded, the path is considered | |
1367 | unreachable, and new traffic will use a different path when the | |
1368 | association is multihomed. | |
1369 | ||
1370 | Default: 5 | |
1371 | ||
1372 | rto_initial - INTEGER | |
1373 | The initial round trip timeout value in milliseconds that will be used | |
1374 | in calculating round trip times. This is the initial time interval | |
1375 | for retransmissions. | |
1376 | ||
1377 | Default: 3000 | |
1da177e4 | 1378 | |
32e8d494 VY |
1379 | rto_max - INTEGER |

1383 | Default: 60000 | |
1384 | ||
1385 | rto_min - INTEGER | |

1387 | is the smallest time interval the can elapse between retransmissions. | |
1388 | ||
1389 | Default: 1000 | |
1390 | ||
1391 | hb_interval - INTEGER | |
1392 | The interval (in milliseconds) between HEARTBEAT chunks. These chunks | |
1393 | are sent at the specified interval on idle paths to probe the state of | |
1394 | a given path between 2 associations. | |
1395 | ||
1396 | Default: 30000 | |
1397 | ||
1398 | sack_timeout - INTEGER | |
1399 | The amount of time (in milliseconds) that the implementation will wait | |
1400 | to send a SACK. | |
1401 | ||
1402 | Default: 200 | |
1403 | ||
1404 | valid_cookie_life - INTEGER | |
1405 | The default lifetime of the SCTP cookie (in milliseconds). The cookie | |
1406 | is used during association establishment. | |
1407 | ||
1408 | Default: 60000 | |
1409 | ||
1410 | cookie_preserve_enable - BOOLEAN | |
1411 | Enable or disable the ability to extend the lifetime of the SCTP cookie | |
1412 | that is used during the establishment phase of SCTP association | |
1413 | ||
1414 | 1: Enable cookie lifetime extension. | |
1415 | 0: Disable | |
1416 | ||
1417 | Default: 1 | |
1418 | ||
1419 | rcvbuf_policy - INTEGER | |
1420 | Determines if the receive buffer is attributed to the socket or to | |
1421 | association. SCTP supports the capability to create multiple | |
1422 | associations on a single socket. When using this capability, it is | |
1423 | possible that a single stalled association that's buffering a lot | |
1424 | of data may block other associations from delivering their data by | |
1425 | consuming all of the receive buffer space. To work around this, | |
1426 | the rcvbuf_policy could be set to attribute the receiver buffer space | |
1427 | to each association instead of the socket. This prevents the described | |
1428 | blocking. | |
1429 | ||
1430 | 1: rcvbuf space is per association | |
1431 | 0: recbuf space is per socket | |
1432 | ||
1433 | Default: 0 | |
1434 | ||
1435 | sndbuf_policy - INTEGER | |
1436 | Similar to rcvbuf_policy above, this applies to send buffer space. | |
1437 | ||
1438 | 1: Send buffer is tracked per association | |
1439 | 0: Send buffer is tracked per socket. | |
1440 | ||
1441 | Default: 0 | |
1442 | ||
1443 | sctp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max | |
1444 | Number of pages allowed for queueing by all SCTP sockets. | |
1445 | ||
1446 | min: Below this number of pages SCTP is not bothered about its | |
1447 | memory appetite. When amount of memory allocated by SCTP exceeds | |
1448 | this number, SCTP starts to moderate memory usage. | |
1449 | ||
1450 | pressure: This value was introduced to follow format of tcp_mem. | |
1451 | ||
1452 | max: Number of pages allowed for queueing by all SCTP sockets. | |
1453 | ||
1454 | Default is calculated at boot time from amount of available memory. | |
1455 | ||
1456 | sctp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max | |
a6e1204b MM |
1457 | Only the first value ("min") is used, "default" and "max" are |
1458 | ignored. | |
1459 | ||
1460 | min: Minimal size of receive buffer used by SCTP socket. | |
1461 | It is guaranteed to each SCTP socket (but not association) even | |
1462 | under moderate memory pressure. | |
1463 | ||
1464 | Default: 1 page | |
32e8d494 VY |
1465 | |
1466 | sctp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max | |
a6e1204b | 1467 | Currently this tunable has no effect. |

1472 | 0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping | |
1473 | 1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping | |
1474 | 2 - Follow draft but allow IPv4 private addresses | |
1475 | 3 - Follow draft but allow IPv4 link local addresses | |
