This is especially useful if you have multiple containers hosted on one node and one of them is under DoS- in such situations one thing which could be done is to configure the tcp keepalive settings such that connections for that particular container are being reset faster. Another scenario where not being able to control those knob comes per container is problematic is occurs the value of net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established is set below the keepalive interval, in such situations the server won't send an RST packet resulting in applications not trying to reconnect and stale connection waiting. Changing the global keepalive value is a possible solution but it might interfere with other containers. The three patches gradually convert each of the affected knobs to be per netns. I thought it would be easier for review than put everything in one patch. If people deem it more appropriate to squash everything in one patch (maybe after review) I'd be more than happy to do it. The patches have been compile-tested on 4.4 and functionally tested on 3.12 and they work as expected. These are based off 4.4-rc8 ==================== Acked-by: "Eric W.
