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_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
39 This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking
40 events" are used. Normally, ctnetlink is "lossy", that is,
41 events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up.
43 Userspace can request "reliable event mode". When this mode is
44 active, the conntrack will only be destroyed after the event was
45 delivered. If event delivery fails, the kernel periodically
46 re-tries to send the event to userspace.
48 This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying
49 to deliver the destroy event.
51 A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it
52 will take longer for a backlog to be processed.
54 nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
55 Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
56 nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
58 nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
61 Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When
62 nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this
63 purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until
64 nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached.
66 nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
69 See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
71 nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
74 Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory.
76 nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
79 Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported
82 nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN
84 not 0 - enabled (default)
86 Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
88 nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
91 Default for ICMP timeout.
93 nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
96 Default for ICMP6 timeout.
98 nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER
103 33 - log DCCP packets
104 41 - log ICMPv6 packets
105 136 - log UDPLITE packets
106 255 - log packets of any protocol
108 Log invalid packets of a type specified by value.
110 nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER
111 Size of connection tracking table. Default value is
112 nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4.
114 nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN
115 0 - disabled (default)
118 Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.
119 If it's non-zero, we mark only out of window RST segments as INVALID.
121 nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN
123 not 0 - enabled (default)
125 If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established
128 nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER
131 Maximum number of packets that can be retransmitted without
132 received an (acceptable) ACK from the destination. If this number
133 is reached, a shorter timer will be started.
135 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close - INTEGER (seconds)
138 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
141 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established - INTEGER (seconds)
142 default 432000 (5 days)
144 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_fin_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
147 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_last_ack - INTEGER (seconds)
150 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_max_retrans - INTEGER (seconds)
153 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv - INTEGER (seconds)
156 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent - INTEGER (seconds)
159 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
162 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_unacknowledged - INTEGER (seconds)
165 nf_conntrack_timestamp - BOOLEAN
166 0 - disabled (default)
169 Enable connection tracking flow timestamping.
171 nf_conntrack_udp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
174 nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream2 - INTEGER (seconds)
177 This extended timeout will be used in case there is an UDP stream
