1/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_* Variables: 2 3nf_conntrack_acct - BOOLEAN 4 0 - disabled (default) 5 not 0 - enabled 6 7 Enable connection tracking flow accounting. 64-bit byte and packet 8 counters per flow are added. 9 10nf_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 and limited to 16384 buckets. For systems 15 with more than 4GB of memory it will be 65536 buckets. 16 17nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN 18 0 - disabled 19 not 0 - enabled (default) 20 21 Verify checksum of incoming packets. Packets with bad checksums are 22 in INVALID state. If this is enabled, such packets will not be 23 considered for connection tracking. 24 25nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only) 26 Number of currently allocated flow entries. 27 28nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN 29 0 - disabled 30 not 0 - enabled (default) 31 32 If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will 33 provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink. 34 35nf_conntrack_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) 36 default 15 37 38 This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking 39 events" are used. Normally, ctnetlink is "lossy", that is, 40 events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up. 41 42 Userspace can request "reliable event mode". When this mode is 43 active, the conntrack will only be destroyed after the event was 44 delivered. If event delivery fails, the kernel periodically 45 re-tries to send the event to userspace. 46 47 This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying 48 to deliver the destroy event. 49 50 A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it 51 will take longer for a backlog to be processed. 52 53nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER 54 Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is 55 nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1. 56 57nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER 58 default 262144 59 60 Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When 61 nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this 62 purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until 63 nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached. 64 65nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER 66 default 196608 67 68 See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh 69 70nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) 71 default 60 72 73 Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory. 74 75nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) 76 default 600 77 78 Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported 79 protocols. 80 81nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN 82 0 - disabled 83 not 0 - enabled (default) 84 85 Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment. 86 87nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) 88 default 30 89 90 Default for ICMP timeout. 91 92nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) 93 default 30 94 95 Default for ICMP6 timeout. 96 97nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER 98 0 - disable (default) 99 1 - log ICMP packets 100 6 - log TCP packets 101 17 - log UDP packets 102 33 - log DCCP packets 103 41 - log ICMPv6 packets 104 136 - log UDPLITE packets 105 255 - log packets of any protocol 106 107 Log invalid packets of a type specified by value. 108 109nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER 110 Size of connection tracking table. Default value is 111 nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4. 112 113nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN 114 0 - disabled (default) 115 not 0 - enabled 116 117 Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others. 118 If it's non-zero, we mark only out of window RST segments as INVALID. 119 120nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN 121 0 - disabled 122 not 0 - enabled (default) 123 124 If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established 125 connections. 126 127nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER 128 default 3 129 130 Maximum number of packets that can be retransmitted without 131 received an (acceptable) ACK from the destination. If this number 132 is reached, a shorter timer will be started. 133 134nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close - INTEGER (seconds) 135 default 10 136 137nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait - INTEGER (seconds) 138 default 60 139 140nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established - INTEGER (seconds) 141 default 432000 (5 days) 142 143nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_fin_wait - INTEGER (seconds) 144 default 120 145 146nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_last_ack - INTEGER (seconds) 147 default 30 148 149nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_max_retrans - INTEGER (seconds) 150 default 300 151 152nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv - INTEGER (seconds) 153 default 60 154 155nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent - INTEGER (seconds) 156 default 120 157 158nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait - INTEGER (seconds) 159 default 120 160 161nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_unacknowledged - INTEGER (seconds) 162 default 300 163 164nf_conntrack_timestamp - BOOLEAN 165 0 - disabled (default) 166 not 0 - enabled 167 168 Enable connection tracking flow timestamping. 169 170nf_conntrack_udp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds) 171 default 30 172 173nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream2 - INTEGER (seconds) 174 default 180 175 176 This extended timeout will be used in case there is an UDP stream 177 detected. 178
