Quoting Ian McDonald: | > +sync_ratelimit = HZ/8 | > + The timeout between subsequent DCCP-Sync packets sent in response to | > + sequence-invalid packets on the same socket (RFC 4340, 7.5.4). The unit | > + of this parameter is jiffies; a value of 0 disables rate-limiting. | > + | | No, no, no. A userspace parameter in jiffies is just wrong I think. | You change HZ and this doesn't automatically change. You could be | doing this with different kernels on your machine even and setting | sysctls in a file. Take a bit of time and put this in milliseconds. The default value is set at compilation time when HZ is known. I used jiffies for the main reason to make this sysctl consistent with the other, similar, runtime variables which are also in units of jiffies (cf. Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt): * inet_peer_minttl / inet_peer_maxttl / inet_peer_gc_mintime / inet_peer_gc_maxtime * icmp_ratelimit - which is semantically the closest to this sysctl Would you still rather have this in milliseconds? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
