Or tune some more parameters like tcp_synack_retries and netdev_max_backlog *My question *- to fix this SYN flooding problem should I modify net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog, net.core.somaxconn and the backlog size passed to the listen() syscall or might there be an alternative easier fix such as installing 2.3.3-kh9<https://github.com/karlheyes/icec...

Hello All, We have a Linux cluster application that uses openssh as its inter-node communication mechanism and we've recently run into a problem that points to a potential scalability issue in openssh code. Our client nodes systematically open ssh connections to the server node to execute an administrative command. When establishing socket connections, the server side sometimes fails to

Hello, I current have a FreeBSD 4.8 bridge firewall that sits between 7 servers and the internet. The servers are being attacked with syn floods and go down multiple times a day. The 7 servers belong to a client, who runs redhat. I am trying to find a way to do some kind of syn flood protection inside the firewall. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Ryan James ryan@mac2.net
