I grepped through the code and picked bits about nf_conntrack sysctl api and put that into one documentation file. [ I have mangled this patch including comments from several grammar improvements proposed by Neal Murphy <neal.p.murphy@alum.wpi.edu>, any new grammar error is my mistake --pablo ] Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_* Variables:
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_acct - BOOLEAN
|
|
0 - disabled (default)
|
|
not 0 - enabled
|
|
|
|
Enable connection tracking flow accounting. 64-bit byte and packet
|
|
counters per flow are added.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_buckets - INTEGER (read-only)
|
|
Size of hash table. If not specified as parameter during module
|
|
loading, the default size is calculated by dividing total memory
|
|
by 16384 to determine the number of buckets but the hash table will
|
|
never have fewer than 32 or more than 16384 buckets.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN
|
|
0 - disabled
|
|
not 0 - enabled (default)
|
|
|
|
Verify checksum of incoming packets. Packets with bad checksums are
|
|
in INVALID state. If this is enabled, such packets will not be
|
|
considered for connection tracking.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only)
|
|
Number of currently allocated flow entries.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN
|
|
0 - disabled
|
|
not 0 - enabled (default)
|
|
|
|
If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
|
|
provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
|
|
default 15
|
|
|
|
This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking
|
|
events" are used. Normally, ctnetlink is "lossy", that is,
|
|
events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up.
|
|
|
|
Userspace can request "reliable event mode". When this mode is
|
|
active, the conntrack will only be destroyed after the event was
|
|
delivered. If event delivery fails, the kernel periodically
|
|
re-tries to send the event to userspace.
|
|
|
|
This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying
|
|
to deliver the destroy event.
|
|
|
|
A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it
|
|
will take longer for a backlog to be processed.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
|
|
Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
|
|
nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
|
|
default 262144
|
|
|
|
Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this
|
|
purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
|
|
default 196608
|
|
|
|
See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
|
|
default 60
|
|
|
|
Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
|
|
default 600
|
|
|
|
Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported
|
|
protocols.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN
|
|
0 - disabled
|
|
not 0 - enabled (default)
|
|
|
|
Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
|
|
|
|

|
|
default 30
|
|
|
|
Default for ICMP timeout.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
|
|
default 30
|
|
|
|
Default for ICMP6 timeout.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER
|
|
0 - disable (default)
|
|
1 - log ICMP packets
|
|
6 - log TCP packets
|
|
17 - log UDP packets
|
|
33 - log DCCP packets
|
|
41 - log ICMPv6 packets
|
|
136 - log UDPLITE packets
|
|
255 - log packets of any protocol
|
|
|
|
Log invalid packets of a type specified by value.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER
|
|

|
|
nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4.

|
|
nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN
|
|

|
|
default 3
|
|
|
|
Maximum number of packets that can be retransmitted without
|
|

|
|
is reached, a shorter timer will be started.
