Hi all,
I've been mucking around with the timeout values in conntrack recently, and ran
into the LISTEN timeout and NONE timeout and have a bit of a problem
understanding them.
First of all, how do we know when to set a conntrack entry to LISTEN since
there is no data sent that will cause this afaik, except possibly FTP data
connections etc. Would this in other words be used by the RELATED state, or is
it used at any time by the ESTABLISHED state, and if so how?
The NONE state I have a even harder time understanding. Which state is it
indicating if referencing to RFC 793, page 23 (correct page? I may be wrong
about the page since I don't have it here, but it should be figure 6 which
explains the TCP states). Anyways, what is this state used for and when is a
conntrack entry set to state NONE?
I hope someone is able to answer these questions :-) and have a nice day,
Oskar Andreasson
