1 /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_* Variables:
3 nf_conntrack_acct - BOOLEAN
7 Enable connection tracking flow accounting. 64-bit byte and packet
8 counters per flow are added.
10 nf_conntrack_buckets - INTEGER
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 and limited to 16384 buckets. For systems
15 with more than 4GB of memory it will be 65536 buckets.
16 This sysctl is only writeable in the initial net namespace.
18 nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN
20 not 0 - enabled (default)
22 Verify checksum of incoming packets. Packets with bad checksums are
23 in INVALID state. If this is enabled, such packets will not be
24 considered for connection tracking.
26 nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only)
27 Number of currently allocated flow entries.
29 nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN
31 not 0 - enabled (default)
33 If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
34 provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
36 nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
37 Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
38 nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
40 nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
43 Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When
44 nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this
45 purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until
46 nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached.
48 nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
51 See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
53 nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
56 Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory.
58 nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
61 Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported
64 nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN
65 0 - disabled (default)
68 Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
69 If disabled it is required to set up iptables rules to assign
70 helpers to connections. See the CT target description in the
71 iptables-extensions(8) man page for further information.
73 nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
76 Default for ICMP timeout.
78 nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
81 Default for ICMP6 timeout.
83 nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER
89 41 - log ICMPv6 packets
90 136 - log UDPLITE packets
91 255 - log packets of any protocol
93 Log invalid packets of a type specified by value.
95 nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER
96 Size of connection tracking table. Default value is
97 nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4.
99 nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN
100 0 - disabled (default)
103 Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.
104 If it's non-zero, we mark only out of window RST segments as INVALID.
106 nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN
108 not 0 - enabled (default)
110 If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established
113 nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER
116 Maximum number of packets that can be retransmitted without
117 received an (acceptable) ACK from the destination. If this number
118 is reached, a shorter timer will be started.
120 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close - INTEGER (seconds)
123 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
126 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established - INTEGER (seconds)
127 default 432000 (5 days)
129 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_fin_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
132 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_last_ack - INTEGER (seconds)
135 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_max_retrans - INTEGER (seconds)
138 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv - INTEGER (seconds)
141 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent - INTEGER (seconds)
144 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
147 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_unacknowledged - INTEGER (seconds)
150 nf_conntrack_timestamp - BOOLEAN
151 0 - disabled (default)
154 Enable connection tracking flow timestamping.
156 nf_conntrack_udp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
159 nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream - INTEGER (seconds)
162 This extended timeout will be used in case there is an UDP stream
165 nf_conntrack_gre_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
168 nf_conntrack_gre_timeout_stream - INTEGER (seconds)
171 This extended timeout will be used in case there is an GRE stream
