/proc/sys/net/ipv4/vs/* Variables:
|
||||
|
||||
am_droprate - INTEGER
|
||||
default 10
|
||||
|
||||
It sets the always mode drop rate, which is used in the mode 3
|
||||
of the drop_rate defense.
|
||||
|
||||
amemthresh - INTEGER
|
||||
default 1024
|
||||
|
||||
It sets the available memory threshold (in pages), which is
|
||||
used in the automatic modes of defense. When there is no
|
||||
enough available memory, the respective strategy will be
|
||||
enabled and the variable is automatically set to 2, otherwise
|
||||
the strategy is disabled and the variable is set to 1.
|
||||
|
||||
cache_bypass - BOOLEAN
|
||||
0 - disabled (default)
|
||||
not 0 - enabled
|
||||
|
||||
If it is enabled, forward packets to the original destination
|
||||
directly when no cache server is available and destination
|
||||
address is not local (iph->daddr is RTN_UNICAST). It is mostly
|
||||
used in transparent web cache cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
debug_level - INTEGER
|
||||
0 - transmission error messages (default)
|
||||
1 - non-fatal error messages
|
||||
2 - configuration
|
||||
3 - destination trash
|
||||
4 - drop entry
|
||||
5 - service lookup
|
||||
6 - scheduling
|
||||
7 - connection new/expire, lookup and synchronization
|
||||
8 - state transition
|
||||
9 - binding destination, template checks and applications
|
||||
10 - IPVS packet transmission
|
||||
11 - IPVS packet handling (ip_vs_in/ip_vs_out)
|
||||
12 or more - packet traversal
|
||||
|
||||
Only available when IPVS is compiled with the CONFIG_IPVS_DEBUG
|
||||
|
||||
Higher debugging levels include the messages for lower debugging
|
||||
levels, so setting debug level 2, includes level 0, 1 and 2
|
||||
messages. Thus, logging becomes more and more verbose the higher
|
||||
the level.
|
||||
|
||||
drop_entry - INTEGER
|
||||
0 - disabled (default)
|
||||
|
||||
The drop_entry defense is to randomly drop entries in the
|
||||
connection hash table, just in order to collect back some
|
||||
memory for new connections. In the current code, the
|
||||
drop_entry procedure can be activated every second, then it
|
||||
randomly scans 1/32 of the whole and drops entries that are in
|
||||
the SYN-RECV/SYNACK state, which should be effective against
|
||||
syn-flooding attack.
|
||||
|
||||
The valid values of drop_entry are from 0 to 3, where 0 means
|
||||
that this strategy is always disabled, 1 and 2 mean automatic
|
||||
modes (when there is no enough available memory, the strategy
|
||||
is enabled and the variable is automatically set to 2,
|
||||
otherwise the strategy is disabled and the variable is set to
|
||||
1), and 3 means that that the strategy is always enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
drop_packet - INTEGER
|
||||
0 - disabled (default)
|
||||
|
||||
The drop_packet defense is designed to drop 1/rate packets
|
||||
before forwarding them to real servers. If the rate is 1, then
|
||||
drop all the incoming packets.
|
||||
|
||||
The value definition is the same as that of the drop_entry. In
|
||||
the automatic mode, the rate is determined by the follow
|
||||
formula: rate = amemthresh / (amemthresh - available_memory)
|
||||
when available memory is less than the available memory
|
||||
threshold. When the mode 3 is set, the always mode drop rate
|
||||
is controlled by the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/vs/am_droprate.
|
||||
|
||||
expire_nodest_conn - BOOLEAN
|
||||
0 - disabled (default)
|
||||
not 0 - enabled
|
||||
|
||||
The default value is 0, the load balancer will silently drop
|
||||
packets when its destination server is not available. It may
|
||||
be useful, when user-space monitoring program deletes the
|
||||
destination server (because of server overload or wrong
|
||||
detection) and add back the server later, and the connections
|
||||
to the server can continue.
|
||||
|
||||
If this feature is enabled, the load balancer will expire the
|
||||
connection immediately when a packet arrives and its
|
||||
destination server is not available, then the client program
|
||||
will be notified that the connection is closed. This is
|
||||
equivalent to the feature some people requires to flush
|
||||
connections when its destination is not available.
|
||||
|
||||
expire_quiescent_template - BOOLEAN
|
||||
0 - disabled (default)
|
||||
not 0 - enabled
|
||||
|
||||
When set to a non-zero value, the load balancer will expire
|
||||
persistent templates when the destination server is quiescent.
|
||||
This may be useful, when a user makes a destination server
|
||||
quiescent by setting its weight to 0 and it is desired that
|
||||
subsequent otherwise persistent connections are sent to a
|
||||
different destination server. By default new persistent
|
||||
connections are allowed to quiescent destination servers.
|
||||
|
||||
If this feature is enabled, the load balancer will expire the
|
||||
persistence template if it is to be used to schedule a new
|
||||
connection and the destination server is quiescent.
|
||||
|
||||
nat_icmp_send - BOOLEAN
|
||||
0 - disabled (default)
|
||||
not 0 - enabled
|
||||
|
||||
It controls sending icmp error messages (ICMP_DEST_UNREACH)
|
||||
for VS/NAT when the load balancer receives packets from real
|
||||
servers but the connection entries don't exist.
|
||||
|
||||
secure_tcp - INTEGER
|
||||
0 - disabled (default)
|
||||
|
||||
The secure_tcp defense is to use a more complicated state
|
||||
transition table and some possible short timeouts of each
|
||||
state. In the VS/NAT, it delays the entering the ESTABLISHED
|
||||
until the real server starts to send data and ACK packet
|
||||
(after 3-way handshake).
|
||||
|
||||
The value definition is the same as that of drop_entry or
|
||||
drop_packet.
|
||||
|
||||
sync_threshold - INTEGER
|
||||
default 3
|
||||
|
||||
It sets synchronization threshold, which is the minimum number
|
||||
of incoming packets that a connection needs to receive before
|
||||
the connection will be synchronized. A connection will be
|
||||
synchronized, every time the number of its incoming packets
|
||||
modulus 50 equals the threshold. The range of the threshold is
|
||||
from 0 to 49.
