From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi, This patchset adds the cttimeout infrastructure that allows you to define fine-grain conntrack timeout policies, eg: .test = { .l3proto = 2, .l4proto = 6, .policy = { .SYN_SENT = 100, .SYN_RECV = 120, .ESTABLISHED = 60, .FIN_WAIT = 432000, .CLOSE_WAIT = 120, .LAST_ACK = 60, .TIME_WAIT = 30, .CLOSE = 120, .SYN_SENT2 = 10, }, }; Timeout policies are identify by the name. You can attach the defined timeout policy to one flow via the CT target. Previous proposals were not flexible enough to allow this, eg. http://lwn.net/Articles/260066/ You can find the user-space library: http://git.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=libnetfilter_cttimeout.git;a=summary Anytime soon, there will be one command line tool `nfct-timeout' to allow to define timeout policies.
