Subject: [PATCH] sysctl.d: switch net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter from 1 to 2
ff6046
ff6046
This switches the RFC3704 Reverse Path filtering from Strict mode to Loose
ff6046
mode. The Strict mode breaks some pretty common and reasonable use cases,
ff6046
such as keeping connections via one default route alive after another one
ff6046
appears (e.g. plugging an Ethernet cable when connected via Wi-Fi).
ff6046
ff6046
The strict filter also makes it impossible for NetworkManager to do
ff6046
connectivity check on a newly arriving default route (it starts with a
ff6046
higher metric and is bumped lower if there's connectivity).
ff6046
ff6046
Kernel's default is 0 (no filter), but a Loose filter is good enough. The
ff6046
few use cases where a Strict mode could make sense can easily override
ff6046
this.
ff6046
ff6046
The distributions that don't care about the client use cases and prefer a
ff6046
strict filter could just ship a custom configuration in
ff6046
/usr/lib/sysctl.d/ to override this.
