With the default parameters, 1/5 of the table on each 60sec, each cache entry lives up to 300sec by default. > #echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_min_interval # 5 gc_min_interval 0 means no restrictions for running GC, may be it is good on load. > #echo 128 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_thresh # 256 > #echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/max_delay # 10 > #echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/min_delay # 2 > #echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/rp_filter # 1 > #echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth2/rp_filter # 1 > The gc_timeout seems to be a timeout between gc's? this is gc_interval Regards -- Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
