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 (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.
16 nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN
18 not 0 - enabled (default)
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.
24 nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only)
25 Number of currently allocated flow entries.
27 nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN
29 not 0 - enabled (default)
31 If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
32 provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
34 nf_conntrack_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
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.
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.
46 This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying
47 to deliver the destroy event.
49 A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it
50 will take longer for a backlog to be processed.
52 nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
53 Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
54 nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
56 nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
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.
64 nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
67 See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
69 nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
72 Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory.
74 nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
77 Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported
80 nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN
82 not 0 - enabled (default)
84 Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
86 nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
89 Default for ICMP timeout.
91 nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
94 Default for ICMP6 timeout.
96 nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER
101 33 - log DCCP packets
102 41 - log ICMPv6 packets
103 136 - log UDPLITE packets
104 255 - log packets of any protocol
106 Log invalid packets of a type specified by value.
108 nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER
109 Size of connection tracking table. Default value is
110 nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4.
112 nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN
113 0 - disabled (default)
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.
119 nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN
121 not 0 - enabled (default)
123 If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established
126 nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER
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.
133 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close - INTEGER (seconds)
136 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
139 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established - INTEGER (seconds)
140 default 432000 (5 days)
142 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_fin_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
145 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_last_ack - INTEGER (seconds)
148 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_max_retrans - INTEGER (seconds)
151 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv - INTEGER (seconds)
154 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent - INTEGER (seconds)
157 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
160 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_unacknowledged - INTEGER (seconds)
163 nf_conntrack_timestamp - BOOLEAN
164 0 - disabled (default)
167 Enable connection tracking flow timestamping.
169 nf_conntrack_udp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
172 nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream2 - INTEGER (seconds)
175 This extended timeout will be used in case there is an UDP stream
