Allow users to tune net network parameters such as somaxconn.
With this patch, users can add a new network configuration:
> {
> "name": "mytuning",
> "type": "tuning",
> "sysctl": {
> "net.core.somaxconn": "500"
> }
> }
The value /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn will be set to 500 in the network
namespace but will remain unchanged on the host.
Only sysctl parameters that belong to the network subsystem can be
modified.

# tuning plugin
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This plugin can change some system controls (sysctls) in the network namespace.
|
|
It does not create any network interfaces and therefore does not bring connectivity by itself.
|
|
It is only useful when used in addition to other plugins.
|
|
|
|
## Operation
|
|
The following network configuration file
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "mytuning",
|
|
"type": "tuning",
|
|
"sysctl": {
|
|
"net.core.somaxconn": "500"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
will set /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn to 500.
|
|
Other sysctls can be modified as long as they belong to the network namespace (`/proc/sys/net/*`).
|
|
|
|
A successful result would simply be:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"cniVersion": "0.1.0"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Network sysctls documentation

|
|
|
Some network sysctls are documented in the Linux sources:

|
|
- [Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt)
