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 or more than 16384 buckets.
15
16nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN
17	0 - disabled
18	not 0 - enabled (default)
19
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.
23
24nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only)
25	Number of currently allocated flow entries.
26
27nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN
28	0 - disabled
29	not 0 - enabled (default)
30
31	If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
32	provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
33
34nf_conntrack_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
35	default 15
36
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.
40
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.
45
46	This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying
47	to deliver the destroy event.
48
49	A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it
50	will take longer for a backlog to be processed.
51
52nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
53	Maximum size of expectation table.  Default value is
54	nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
55
56nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
57	default 262144
58
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.
63
64nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
65	default 196608
66
67	See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
68
69nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
70	default 60
71
72	Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory.
73
74nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
75	default 600
76
77	Default for generic timeout.  This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported
78	protocols.
79
80nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN
81	0 - disabled
82	not 0 - enabled (default)
83
84	Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
85
86nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
87	default 30
88
89	Default for ICMP timeout.
90
91nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
92	default 30
93
94	Default for ICMP6 timeout.
95
96nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER
97	0   - disable (default)
98	1   - log ICMP packets
99	6   - log TCP packets
100	17  - log UDP packets
101	33  - log DCCP packets
102	41  - log ICMPv6 packets
103	136 - log UDPLITE packets
104	255 - log packets of any protocol
105
106	Log invalid packets of a type specified by value.
107
108nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER
109	Size of connection tracking table.  Default value is
110	nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4.
111
112nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN
113	0 - disabled (default)
114	not 0 - enabled
115
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.
118
119nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN
120	0 - disabled
121	not 0 - enabled (default)
122
123	If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established
124	connections.
125
126nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER
127	default 3
128
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.
132
133nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close - INTEGER (seconds)
134	default 10
135
136nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
137	default 60
138
139nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established - INTEGER (seconds)
140	default 432000 (5 days)
141
142nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_fin_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
143	default 120
144
145nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_last_ack - INTEGER (seconds)
146	default 30
147
148nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_max_retrans - INTEGER (seconds)
149	default 300
150
151nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv - INTEGER (seconds)
152	default 60
153
154nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent - INTEGER (seconds)
155	default 120
156
157nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
158	default 120
159
160nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_unacknowledged - INTEGER (seconds)
161	default 300
162
163nf_conntrack_timestamp - BOOLEAN
164	0 - disabled (default)
165	not 0 - enabled
166
167	Enable connection tracking flow timestamping.

171
172nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream2 - INTEGER (seconds)
