Raw Blame History

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/* Variables:
ip_forward - BOOLEAN
0 - disabled (default)
not 0 - enabled
Forward Packets between interfaces.
This variable is special, its change resets all configuration
parameters to their default state (RFC1122 for hosts, RFC1812
for routers)
ip_default_ttl - INTEGER
default 64
ip_no_pmtu_disc - BOOLEAN
Disable Path MTU Discovery.
default FALSE
min_pmtu - INTEGER
default 562 - minimum discovered Path MTU
mtu_expires - INTEGER
Time, in seconds, that cached PMTU information is kept.
min_adv_mss - INTEGER
The advertised MSS depends on the first hop route MTU, but will
never be lower than this setting.
IP Fragmentation:
ipfrag_high_thresh - INTEGER
Maximum memory used to reassemble IP fragments. When
ipfrag_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this purpose,
the fragment handler will toss packets until ipfrag_low_thresh
is reached.
ipfrag_low_thresh - INTEGER
See ipfrag_high_thresh
ipfrag_time - INTEGER
Time in seconds to keep an IP fragment in memory.
ipfrag_secret_interval - INTEGER
Regeneration interval (in seconds) of the hash secret (or lifetime
for the hash secret) for IP fragments.
Default: 600
INET peer storage:
inet_peer_threshold - INTEGER
The approximate size of the storage. Starting from this threshold
entries will be thrown aggressively. This threshold also determines
entries' time-to-live and time intervals between garbage collection
passes. More entries, less time-to-live, less GC interval.
inet_peer_minttl - INTEGER
Minimum time-to-live of entries. Should be enough to cover fragment
time-to-live on the reassembling side. This minimum time-to-live is
guaranteed if the pool size is less than inet_peer_threshold.
Measured in jiffies(1).
inet_peer_maxttl - INTEGER
Maximum time-to-live of entries. Unused entries will expire after
this period of time if there is no memory pressure on the pool (i.e.
when the number of entries in the pool is very small).
Measured in jiffies(1).
inet_peer_gc_mintime - INTEGER
Minimum interval between garbage collection passes. This interval is
in effect under high memory pressure on the pool.
Measured in jiffies(1).
inet_peer_gc_maxtime - INTEGER
Minimum interval between garbage collection passes. This interval is
in effect under low (or absent) memory pressure on the pool.
Measured in jiffies(1).
TCP variables:
tcp_syn_retries - INTEGER
Number of times initial SYNs for an active TCP connection attempt
will be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value
is 5, which corresponds to ~180seconds.
tcp_synack_retries - INTEGER
Number of times SYNACKs for a passive TCP connection attempt will
be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value
is 5, which corresponds to ~180seconds.
tcp_keepalive_time - INTEGER
How often TCP sends out keepalive messages when keepalive is enabled.
Default: 2hours.
tcp_keepalive_probes - INTEGER
How many keepalive probes TCP sends out, until it decides that the
connection is broken. Default value: 9.
tcp_keepalive_intvl - INTEGER
How frequently the probes are send out. Multiplied by
tcp_keepalive_probes it is time to kill not responding connection,
after probes started. Default value: 75sec i.e. connection
will be aborted after ~11 minutes of retries.
tcp_retries1 - INTEGER
How many times to retry before deciding that something is wrong
and it is necessary to report this suspicion to network layer.
Minimal RFC value is 3, it is default, which corresponds
to ~3sec-8min depending on RTO.
tcp_retries2 - INTEGER
How may times to retry before killing alive TCP connection.
RFC1122 says that the limit should be longer than 100 sec.
It is too small number. Default value 15 corresponds to ~13-30min
depending on RTO.
tcp_orphan_retries - INTEGER
How may times to retry before killing TCP connection, closed
by our side. Default value 7 corresponds to ~50sec-16min
depending on RTO. If you machine is loaded WEB server,
you should think about lowering this value, such sockets
may consume significant resources. Cf. tcp_max_orphans.
tcp_fin_timeout - INTEGER
Time to hold socket in state FIN-WAIT-2, if it was closed
by our side. Peer can be broken and never close its side,
or even died unexpectedly. Default value is 60sec.
Usual value used in 2.2 was 180 seconds, you may restore
it, but remember that if your machine is even underloaded WEB server,
you risk to overflow memory with kilotons of dead sockets,
FIN-WAIT-2 sockets are less dangerous than FIN-WAIT-1,
because they eat maximum 1.5K of memory, but they tend
to live longer. Cf. tcp_max_orphans.
tcp_max_tw_buckets - INTEGER
Maximal number of timewait sockets held by system simultaneously.
If this number is exceeded time-wait socket is immediately destroyed
and warning is printed. This limit exists only to prevent
simple DoS attacks, you _must_ not lower the limit artificially,
but rather increase it (probably, after increasing installed memory),
if network conditions require more than default value.
tcp_tw_recycle - BOOLEAN
Enable fast recycling TIME-WAIT sockets. Default value is 0.
It should not be changed without advice/request of technical
experts.
tcp_tw_reuse - BOOLEAN
Allow to reuse TIME-WAIT sockets for new connections when it is
safe from protocol viewpoint. Default value is 0.
It should not be changed without advice/request of technical
experts.
tcp_max_orphans - INTEGER
Maximal number of TCP sockets not attached to any user file handle,
held by system. If this number is exceeded orphaned connections are
reset immediately and warning is printed. This limit exists
only to prevent simple DoS attacks, you _must_ not rely on this
or lower the limit artificially, but rather increase it
(probably, after increasing installed memory),
if network conditions require more than default value,
and tune network services to linger and kill such states
more aggressively. Let me to remind again: each orphan eats
up to ~64K of unswappable memory.
tcp_abort_on_overflow - BOOLEAN
If listening service is too slow to accept new connections,
reset them. Default state is FALSE. It means that if overflow
occurred due to a burst, connection will recover. Enable this
option _only_ if you are really sure that listening daemon
cannot be tuned to accept connections faster. Enabling this
option can harm clients of your server.
tcp_syncookies - BOOLEAN
Only valid when the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_SYNCOOKIES
Send out syncookies when the syn backlog queue of a socket
overflows. This is to prevent against the common 'syn flood attack'
Default: FALSE
Note, that syncookies is fallback facility.
It MUST NOT be used to help highly loaded servers to stand
against legal connection rate. If you see synflood warnings
in your logs, but investigation shows that they occur
because of overload with legal connections, you should tune
another parameters until this warning disappear.
See: tcp_max_syn_backlog, tcp_synack_retries, tcp_abort_on_overflow.
syncookies seriously violate TCP protocol, do not allow
to use TCP extensions, can result in serious degradation
of some services (f.e. SMTP relaying), visible not by you,
but your clients and relays, contacting you. While you see
synflood warnings in logs not being really flooded, your server
is seriously misconfigured.
tcp_stdurg - BOOLEAN
Use the Host requirements interpretation of the TCP urg pointer field.
Most hosts use the older BSD interpretation, so if you turn this on
Linux might not communicate correctly with them.
Default: FALSE
tcp_max_syn_backlog - INTEGER
Maximal number of remembered connection requests, which are
still did not receive an acknowledgment from connecting client.
Default value is 1024 for systems with more than 128Mb of memory,
and 128 for low memory machines. If server suffers of overload,
try to increase this number.
tcp_window_scaling - BOOLEAN
Enable window scaling as defined in RFC1323.
tcp_timestamps - BOOLEAN
Enable timestamps as defined in RFC1323.
tcp_sack - BOOLEAN
Enable select acknowledgments (SACKS).
tcp_fack - BOOLEAN
Enable FACK congestion avoidance and fast retransmission.
The value is not used, if tcp_sack is not enabled.
tcp_dsack - BOOLEAN
Allows TCP to send "duplicate" SACKs.
tcp_ecn - BOOLEAN
Enable Explicit Congestion Notification in TCP.
tcp_reordering - INTEGER
Maximal reordering of packets in a TCP stream.
Default: 3
tcp_retrans_collapse - BOOLEAN
Bug-to-bug compatibility with some broken printers.
On retransmit try to send bigger packets to work around bugs in
certain TCP stacks.
tcp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
min: Amount of memory reserved for send buffers for TCP socket.
Each TCP socket has rights to use it due to fact of its birth.
Default: 4K
default: Amount of memory allowed for send buffers for TCP socket
by default. This value overrides net.core.wmem_default used
by other protocols, it is usually lower than net.core.wmem_default.
Default: 16K
max: Maximal amount of memory allowed for automatically selected
send buffers for TCP socket. This value does not override
net.core.wmem_max, "static" selection via SO_SNDBUF does not use this.
Default: 128K
tcp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
min: Minimal size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
It is guaranteed to each TCP socket, even under moderate memory
pressure.
Default: 8K
default: default size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
This value overrides net.core.rmem_default used by other protocols.
Default: 87380 bytes. This value results in window of 65535 with
default setting of tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_app_win:0 and a bit
less for default tcp_app_win. See below about these variables.
max: maximal size of receive buffer allowed for automatically
selected receiver buffers for TCP socket. This value does not override
net.core.rmem_max, "static" selection via SO_RCVBUF does not use this.
Default: 87380*2 bytes.
tcp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
low: below this number of pages TCP is not bothered about its
memory appetite.
pressure: when amount of memory allocated by TCP exceeds this number
of pages, TCP moderates its memory consumption and enters memory
pressure mode, which is exited when memory consumption falls
under "low".
high: number of pages allowed for queueing by all TCP sockets.
Defaults are calculated at boot time from amount of available
memory.
tcp_app_win - INTEGER
Reserve max(window/2^tcp_app_win, mss) of window for application
buffer. Value 0 is special, it means that nothing is reserved.
Default: 31
tcp_adv_win_scale - INTEGER
Count buffering overhead as bytes/2^tcp_adv_win_scale
(if tcp_adv_win_scale > 0) or bytes-bytes/2^(-tcp_adv_win_scale),
if it is <= 0.
Default: 2
tcp_rfc1337 - BOOLEAN
If set, the TCP stack behaves conforming to RFC1337. If unset,
we are not conforming to RFC, but prevent TCP TIME_WAIT
assassination.
Default: 0
tcp_low_latency - BOOLEAN
If set, the TCP stack makes decisions that prefer lower
latency as opposed to higher throughput. By default, this
option is not set meaning that higher throughput is preferred.
An example of an application where this default should be
changed would be a Beowulf compute cluster.
Default: 0
tcp_westwood - BOOLEAN
Enable TCP Westwood+ congestion control algorithm.
TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno
protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion
control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set
congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion
episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a
slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into
account the bandwidth used at the time congestion is experienced.
TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in
wired networks and throughput over wireless links.
Default: 0
tcp_vegas_cong_avoid - BOOLEAN
Enable TCP Vegas congestion avoidance algorithm.
TCP Vegas is a sender-side only change to TCP that anticipates
the onset of congestion by estimating the bandwidth. TCP Vegas
adjusts the sending rate by modifying the congestion
window. TCP Vegas should provide less packet loss, but it is
not as aggressive as TCP Reno.
Default:0
tcp_bic - BOOLEAN
Enable BIC TCP congestion control algorithm.
BIC-TCP is a sender-side only change that ensures a linear RTT
fairness under large windows while offering both scalability and
bounded TCP-friendliness. The protocol combines two schemes
called additive increase and binary search increase. When the
congestion window is large, additive increase with a large
increment ensures linear RTT fairness as well as good
scalability. Under small congestion windows, binary search
increase provides TCP friendliness.
Default: 0
tcp_bic_low_window - INTEGER
Sets the threshold window (in packets) where BIC TCP starts to
adjust the congestion window. Below this threshold BIC TCP behaves
the same as the default TCP Reno.
Default: 14
tcp_bic_fast_convergence - BOOLEAN
Forces BIC TCP to more quickly respond to changes in congestion
window. Allows two flows sharing the same connection to converge
more rapidly.
Default: 1
tcp_default_win_scale - INTEGER
Sets the minimum window scale TCP will negotiate for on all
conections.
Default: 7
tcp_tso_win_divisor - INTEGER
This allows control over what percentage of the congestion window
can be consumed by a single TSO frame.
The setting of this parameter is a choice between burstiness and
building larger TSO frames.
Default: 8
tcp_frto - BOOLEAN
Enables F-RTO, an enhanced recovery algorithm for TCP retransmission
timeouts. It is particularly beneficial in wireless environments
where packet loss is typically due to random radio interference
rather than intermediate router congestion.
somaxconn - INTEGER
Limit of socket listen() backlog, known in userspace as SOMAXCONN.
Defaults to 128. See also tcp_max_syn_backlog for additional tuning
for TCP sockets.
IP Variables:
ip_local_port_range - 2 INTEGERS
Defines the local port range that is used by TCP and UDP to
choose the local port. The first number is the first, the
second the last local port number. Default value depends on
amount of memory available on the system:
> 128Mb 32768-61000
< 128Mb 1024-4999 or even less.
This number defines number of active connections, which this
system can issue simultaneously to systems not supporting
TCP extensions (timestamps). With tcp_tw_recycle enabled
(i.e. by default) range 1024-4999 is enough to issue up to
2000 connections per second to systems supporting timestamps.
ip_nonlocal_bind - BOOLEAN
If set, allows processes to bind() to non-local IP addresses,
which can be quite useful - but may break some applications.
Default: 0
ip_dynaddr - BOOLEAN
If set non-zero, enables support for dynamic addresses.
If set to a non-zero value larger than 1, a kernel log
message will be printed when dynamic address rewriting
occurs.
Default: 0
icmp_echo_ignore_all - BOOLEAN
icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts - BOOLEAN
If either is set to true, then the kernel will ignore either all
ICMP ECHO requests sent to it or just those to broadcast/multicast
addresses, respectively.
icmp_ratelimit - INTEGER
Limit the maximal rates for sending ICMP packets whose type matches
icmp_ratemask (see below) to specific targets.
0 to disable any limiting, otherwise the maximal rate in jiffies(1)
Default: 100
icmp_ratemask - INTEGER
Mask made of ICMP types for which rates are being limited.
Significant bits: IHGFEDCBA9876543210
Default mask: 0000001100000011000 (6168)
Bit definitions (see include/linux/icmp.h):
0 Echo Reply
3 Destination Unreachable *
4 Source Quench *
5 Redirect
8 Echo Request
B Time Exceeded *
C Parameter Problem *
D Timestamp Request
E Timestamp Reply
F Info Request
G Info Reply
H Address Mask Request
I Address Mask Reply
* These are rate limited by default (see default mask above)
icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses - BOOLEAN
Some routers violate RFC1122 by sending bogus responses to broadcast
frames. Such violations are normally logged via a kernel warning.
If this is set to TRUE, the kernel will not give such warnings, which
will avoid log file clutter.
Default: FALSE
igmp_max_memberships - INTEGER
Change the maximum number of multicast groups we can subscribe to.
Default: 20
conf/interface/* changes special settings per interface (where "interface" is
the name of your network interface)
conf/all/* is special, changes the settings for all interfaces
log_martians - BOOLEAN
Log packets with impossible addresses to kernel log.
log_martians for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
conf/{all,interface}/log_martians is set to TRUE,
it will be disabled otherwise
accept_redirects - BOOLEAN
Accept ICMP redirect messages.
accept_redirects for the interface will be enabled if:
- both conf/{all,interface}/accept_redirects are TRUE in the case forwarding
for the interface is enabled
or
- at least one of conf/{all,interface}/accept_redirects is TRUE in the case
forwarding for the interface is disabled
accept_redirects for the interface will be disabled otherwise
default TRUE (host)
FALSE (router)
forwarding - BOOLEAN
Enable IP forwarding on this interface.
mc_forwarding - BOOLEAN
Do multicast routing. The kernel needs to be compiled with CONFIG_MROUTE
and a multicast routing daemon is required.
conf/all/mc_forwarding must also be set to TRUE to enable multicast routing
for the interface
medium_id - INTEGER
Integer value used to differentiate the devices by the medium they
are attached to. Two devices can have different id values when
the broadcast packets are received only on one of them.
The default value 0 means that the device is the only interface
to its medium, value of -1 means that medium is not known.
Currently, it is used to change the proxy_arp behavior:
the proxy_arp feature is enabled for packets forwarded between
two devices attached to different media.
proxy_arp - BOOLEAN
Do proxy arp.
proxy_arp for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
conf/{all,interface}/proxy_arp is set to TRUE,
it will be disabled otherwise
shared_media - BOOLEAN
Send(router) or accept(host) RFC1620 shared media redirects.
Overrides ip_secure_redirects.
shared_media for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
conf/{all,interface}/shared_media is set to TRUE,
it will be disabled otherwise
default TRUE
secure_redirects - BOOLEAN
Accept ICMP redirect messages only for gateways,
listed in default gateway list.
secure_redirects for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
conf/{all,interface}/secure_redirects is set to TRUE,
it will be disabled otherwise
default TRUE
send_redirects - BOOLEAN
Send redirects, if router.
send_redirects for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
conf/{all,interface}/send_redirects is set to TRUE,
it will be disabled otherwise
Default: TRUE
bootp_relay - BOOLEAN
Accept packets with source address 0.b.c.d destined
not to this host as local ones. It is supposed, that
BOOTP relay daemon will catch and forward such packets.
conf/all/bootp_relay must also be set to TRUE to enable BOOTP relay
for the interface
default FALSE
Not Implemented Yet.
accept_source_route - BOOLEAN
Accept packets with SRR option.
conf/all/accept_source_route must also be set to TRUE to accept packets
with SRR option on the interface
default TRUE (router)
FALSE (host)
rp_filter - BOOLEAN
1 - do source validation by reversed path, as specified in RFC1812
Recommended option for single homed hosts and stub network
routers. Could cause troubles for complicated (not loop free)
networks running a slow unreliable protocol (sort of RIP),
or using static routes.
0 - No source validation.
conf/all/rp_filter must also be set to TRUE to do source validation
on the interface
Default value is 0. Note that some distributions enable it
in startup scripts.
arp_filter - BOOLEAN
1 - Allows you to have multiple network interfaces on the same
subnet, and have the ARPs for each interface be answered
based on whether or not the kernel would route a packet from
the ARP'd IP out that interface (therefore you must use source
based routing for this to work). In other words it allows control
of which cards (usually 1) will respond to an arp request.
0 - (default) The kernel can respond to arp requests with addresses
from other interfaces. This may seem wrong but it usually makes
sense, because it increases the chance of successful communication.
IP addresses are owned by the complete host on Linux, not by
particular interfaces. Only for more complex setups like load-
balancing, does this behaviour cause problems.
arp_filter for the interface will be enabled if at least one of
conf/{all,interface}/arp_filter is set to TRUE,
it will be disabled otherwise
arp_announce - INTEGER
Define different restriction levels for announcing the local
source IP address from IP packets in ARP requests sent on
interface:
0 - (default) Use any local address, configured on any interface
1 - Try to avoid local addresses that are not in the target's
subnet for this interface. This mode is useful when target
hosts reachable via this interface require the source IP
address in ARP requests to be part of their logical network
configured on the receiving interface. When we generate the
request we will check all our subnets that include the
target IP and will preserve the source address if it is from
such subnet. If there is no such subnet we select source
address according to the rules for level 2.
2 - Always use the best local address for this target.
In this mode we ignore the source address in the IP packet
and try to select local address that we prefer for talks with
the target host. Such local address is selected by looking
for primary IP addresses on all our subnets on the outgoing
interface that include the target IP address. If no suitable
local address is found we select the first local address
we have on the outgoing interface or on all other interfaces,
with the hope we will receive reply for our request and
even sometimes no matter the source IP address we announce.
The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_announce is used.
Increasing the restriction level gives more chance for
receiving answer from the resolved target while decreasing
the level announces more valid sender's information.
arp_ignore - INTEGER
Define different modes for sending replies in response to
received ARP requests that resolve local target IP addresses:
0 - (default): reply for any local target IP address, configured
on any interface
1 - reply only if the target IP address is local address
configured on the incoming interface
2 - reply only if the target IP address is local address
configured on the incoming interface and both with the
sender's IP address are part from same subnet on this interface
3 - do not reply for local addresses configured with scope host,
only resolutions for global and link addresses are replied
4-7 - reserved
8 - do not reply for all local addresses
The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_ignore is used
when ARP request is received on the {interface}
app_solicit - INTEGER
The maximum number of probes to send to the user space ARP daemon
via netlink before dropping back to multicast probes (see
mcast_solicit). Defaults to 0.
disable_policy - BOOLEAN
Disable IPSEC policy (SPD) for this interface
disable_xfrm - BOOLEAN
Disable IPSEC encryption on this interface, whatever the policy
tag - INTEGER
Allows you to write a number, which can be used as required.
Default value is 0.
(1) Jiffie: internal timeunit for the kernel. On the i386 1/100s, on the
Alpha 1/1024s. See the HZ define in /usr/include/asm/param.h for the exact
value on your system.

FALSE: enable IPv4-mapped address feature
Default: FALSE (as specified in RFC2553bis)
IPv6 Fragmentation:
ip6frag_high_thresh - INTEGER

[XXX: Other special features than forwarding?]
conf/all/forwarding - BOOLEAN
Enable global IPv6 forwarding between all interfaces.
IPv4 and IPv6 work differently here; e.g. netfilter must be used
to control which interfaces may forward packets and which not.
This also sets all interfaces' Host/Router setting
'forwarding' to the specified value. See below for details.
This referred to as global forwarding.
conf/interface/*:
Change special settings per interface.
The functional behaviour for certain settings is different
depending on whether local forwarding is enabled or not.

accept_redirects - BOOLEAN
Accept Redirects.
Functional default: enabled if local forwarding is disabled.
disabled if local forwarding is enabled.
autoconf - BOOLEAN
Autoconfigure addresses using Prefix Information in Router
Advertisements.
Functional default: enabled if accept_ra is enabled.
disabled if accept_ra is disabled.
dad_transmits - INTEGER
The amount of Duplicate Address Detection probes to send.
Default: 1
forwarding - BOOLEAN
Configure interface-specific Host/Router behaviour.
Note: It is recommended to have the same setting on all
interfaces; mixed router/host scenarios are rather uncommon.
FALSE:
By default, Host behaviour is assumed. This means:
1. IsRouter flag is not set in Neighbour Advertisements.
2. Router Solicitations are being sent when necessary.
3. If accept_ra is TRUE (default), accept Router
Advertisements (and do autoconfiguration).
4. If accept_redirects is TRUE (default), accept Redirects.
TRUE:
If local forwarding is enabled, Router behaviour is assumed.
This means exactly the reverse from the above:
1. IsRouter flag is set in Neighbour Advertisements.
2. Router Solicitations are not sent.
3. Router Advertisements are ignored.
4. Redirects are ignored.
Default: FALSE if global forwarding is disabled (default),
otherwise TRUE.

Default: 4
router_solicitations - INTEGER
Number of Router Solicitations to send until assuming no
routers are present.
Default: 3

that ensures that clients don't synchronize with each
other and generate new addresses at exactly the same time.
value is in seconds.
Default: 600
regen_max_retry - INTEGER
Number of attempts before give up attempting to generate
valid temporary addresses.
Default: 5
max_addresses - INTEGER
Number of maximum addresses per interface. 0 disables limitation.
It is recommended not set too large value (or 0) because it would
be too easy way to crash kernel to allow to create too much of
autoconfigured addresses.
Default: 16
icmp/*:
ratelimit - INTEGER
Limit the maximal rates for sending ICMPv6 packets.
0 to disable any limiting, otherwise the maximal rate in jiffies(1)
