Discussion during NFWS 2017 in Faro has shown that the current
conntrack behaviour is unreasonable.
Even if conntrack module is loaded on behalf of a single net namespace,
its turned on for all namespaces, which is expensive. Commit
481fa37347 ("netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl")
attempted to provide an alternative to the 'default on' behaviour by
adding a sysctl to change it.
However, as Eric points out, the sysctl only becomes available
once the module is loaded, and then its too late.
So we either have to move the sysctl to the core, or, alternatively,
change conntrack to become active only once the rule set requires this.
This does the latter, conntrack is only enabled when a rule needs it.

/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_* Variables:
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_acct - BOOLEAN
|
|
0 - disabled (default)
|
|
not 0 - enabled
|
|
|
|
Enable connection tracking flow accounting. 64-bit byte and packet
|
|
counters per flow are added.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_buckets - INTEGER
|
|
Size of hash table. If not specified as parameter during module
|
|
loading, the default size is calculated by dividing total memory
|
|
by 16384 to determine the number of buckets but the hash table will
|
|
never have fewer than 32 and limited to 16384 buckets. For systems
|
|
with more than 4GB of memory it will be 65536 buckets.
|
|
This sysctl is only writeable in the initial net namespace.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN
|
|
0 - disabled
|
|
not 0 - enabled (default)
|
|
|
|
Verify checksum of incoming packets. Packets with bad checksums are
|
|
in INVALID state. If this is enabled, such packets will not be
|
|
considered for connection tracking.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only)
|
|
Number of currently allocated flow entries.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN
|
|
0 - disabled
|
|
not 0 - enabled (default)
|
|
|
|
If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
|
|
provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
|
|
Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
|
|
nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
|
|
default 262144
|
|
|
|
Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this
|
|
purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
|
|
default 196608
|
|
|
|
See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
|
|
default 60
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
|
|
default 600
|
|
|
|
Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported

|
|
|
|

|
|
0 - disabled (default)
|
|
not 0 - enabled
|
|
|
|
Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
|
|
If disabled it is required to set up iptables rules to assign
|
|
helpers to connections. See the CT target description in the
|
|
iptables-extensions(8) man page for further information.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
