1064
1065addip_enable - BOOLEAN
1066 Enable or disable extension of Dynamic Address Reconfiguration
1067 (ADD-IP) functionality specified in RFC5061. This extension provides
1068 the ability to dynamically add and remove new addresses for the SCTP
1069 associations.
1070
1071 1: Enable extension.
1072
1073 0: Disable extension.
1074
1075 Default: 0
1076
1077addip_noauth_enable - BOOLEAN
1078 Dynamic Address Reconfiguration (ADD-IP) requires the use of
1079 authentication to protect the operations of adding or removing new
1080 addresses. This requirement is mandated so that unauthorized hosts
1081 would not be able to hijack associations. However, older
1082 implementations may not have implemented this requirement while
1083 allowing the ADD-IP extension. For reasons of interoperability,
1084 we provide this variable to control the enforcement of the
1085 authentication requirement.
1086
1087 1: Allow ADD-IP extension to be used without authentication. This
1088 should only be set in a closed environment for interoperability
1089 with older implementations.
1090
1091 0: Enforce the authentication requirement
1092
1093 Default: 0
1094
1095auth_enable - BOOLEAN
1096 Enable or disable Authenticated Chunks extension. This extension
1097 provides the ability to send and receive authenticated chunks and is
1098 required for secure operation of Dynamic Address Reconfiguration
1099 (ADD-IP) extension.
1100
1101 1: Enable this extension.
1102 0: Disable this extension.
1103
1104 Default: 0
1105
1106prsctp_enable - BOOLEAN
1107 Enable or disable the Partial Reliability extension (RFC3758) which
1108 is used to notify peers that a given DATA should no longer be expected.
1109
1110 1: Enable extension
1111 0: Disable
1112
1113 Default: 1
1114
1115max_burst - INTEGER
1116 The limit of the number of new packets that can be initially sent. It
1117 controls how bursty the generated traffic can be.
1118
1119 Default: 4
1120
1121association_max_retrans - INTEGER
1122 Set the maximum number for retransmissions that an association can
1123 attempt deciding that the remote end is unreachable. If this value
1124 is exceeded, the association is terminated.
1125
1126 Default: 10
1127
1128max_init_retransmits - INTEGER
1129 The maximum number of retransmissions of INIT and COOKIE-ECHO chunks
1130 that an association will attempt before declaring the destination
1131 unreachable and terminating.
1132
1133 Default: 8
1134
1135path_max_retrans - INTEGER
1136 The maximum number of retransmissions that will be attempted on a given
1137 path. Once this threshold is exceeded, the path is considered
1138 unreachable, and new traffic will use a different path when the
1139 association is multihomed.
1140
1141 Default: 5
1142
1143rto_initial - INTEGER
1144 The initial round trip timeout value in milliseconds that will be used
1145 in calculating round trip times. This is the initial time interval
1146 for retransmissions.
1147
1148 Default: 3000
1149
1150rto_max - INTEGER
1151 The maximum value (in milliseconds) of the round trip timeout. This
1152 is the largest time interval that can elapse between retransmissions.
1153
1154 Default: 60000
1155
1156rto_min - INTEGER
1157 The minimum value (in milliseconds) of the round trip timeout. This
1158 is the smallest time interval the can elapse between retransmissions.
1159
1160 Default: 1000
1161
1162hb_interval - INTEGER
1163 The interval (in milliseconds) between HEARTBEAT chunks. These chunks
1164 are sent at the specified interval on idle paths to probe the state of
1165 a given path between 2 associations.
1166
1167 Default: 30000
1168
1169sack_timeout - INTEGER
1170 The amount of time (in milliseconds) that the implementation will wait
1171 to send a SACK.
1172
1173 Default: 200
1174
1175valid_cookie_life - INTEGER
1176 The default lifetime of the SCTP cookie (in milliseconds). The cookie
1177 is used during association establishment.
1178
1179 Default: 60000
1180
1181cookie_preserve_enable - BOOLEAN
1182 Enable or disable the ability to extend the lifetime of the SCTP cookie
1183 that is used during the establishment phase of SCTP association
1184
1185 1: Enable cookie lifetime extension.
1186 0: Disable
1187
1188 Default: 1
1189
1190rcvbuf_policy - INTEGER
1191 Determines if the receive buffer is attributed to the socket or to
1192 association. SCTP supports the capability to create multiple
1193 associations on a single socket. When using this capability, it is
1194 possible that a single stalled association that's buffering a lot
1195 of data may block other associations from delivering their data by
1196 consuming all of the receive buffer space. To work around this,
1197 the rcvbuf_policy could be set to attribute the receiver buffer space
1198 to each association instead of the socket. This prevents the described
1199 blocking.
1200
1201 1: rcvbuf space is per association
1202 0: recbuf space is per socket
1203
1204 Default: 0
1205
1206sndbuf_policy - INTEGER
1207 Similar to rcvbuf_policy above, this applies to send buffer space.
1208
1209 1: Send buffer is tracked per association
1210 0: Send buffer is tracked per socket.
1211
1212 Default: 0
1213
1214sctp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
1215 Number of pages allowed for queueing by all SCTP sockets.
1216
1217 min: Below this number of pages SCTP is not bothered about its
1218 memory appetite. When amount of memory allocated by SCTP exceeds
1219 this number, SCTP starts to moderate memory usage.
1220
1221 pressure: This value was introduced to follow format of tcp_mem.
1222
1223 max: Number of pages allowed for queueing by all SCTP sockets.
1224
1225 Default is calculated at boot time from amount of available memory.
1226
1227sctp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
1228 See tcp_rmem for a description.
1229
1230sctp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
1231 See tcp_wmem for a description.
