In practice, it would be very difficult to drop template: - it start in NONE state but ... is referred by connection(s) - there must be no connections that point to it: all must be expired (eg. 60 secs for SYN_RECV), 5min for UDP (configurable via ip_vs_set_timeout) that has no replies, 4 seconds (Init RTO+1) for SCTP if S:INIT-ACK or C:COOKIE-ECHO are not received. At highest risk appears to be UDP with DR/TUN methods, especially UDP with OPS service which is not changed by this patch. - it must be unassured: all conns expired in SYN_RECV state without being established. If one conn is established, we can not drop the template. Let me know if you see any problems in tests... Regards -- Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>
