When to Change<br />

Commitment Level<br />

Do not change the value. If more logical interfaces are<br />

required, you might consider increasing the value. However,<br />

recognize that this change might have a negative impact on<br />

IP’s performance.<br />

Unstable<br />

ip_strict_dst_multihoming and<br />

ip6_strict_dst_multihoming<br />

Description<br />

Determines whether a packet arriving on a non forwarding<br />

interface can be accepted for an IP address that is not explicitly<br />

configured on that interface. If ip_forwarding is enabled, or<br />

xxx:ip_forwarding for the appropriate interfaces is<br />

enabled, then this parameter is ignored, because the packet is<br />

actually forwarded.<br />

Refer to RFC 1122, 3.3.4.2.<br />

Default<br />

Range<br />

0 (loose multihoming)<br />

0 = Off (loose multihoming)<br />

1 = On (strict multihoming)<br />

Dynamic?<br />

When to Change<br />

Commitment Level<br />

Yes<br />

If a machine has interfaces that cross strict networking<br />

domains (for example, a firewall or a VPN node), set this<br />

parameter to 1.<br />

Unstable<br />

ip_multidata_outbound<br />

Description<br />

Enables the network stack to send more than one packet at one<br />

time to the network device driver during transmission.<br />

Enabling this parameter reduces the per-packet processing<br />

costs by improving host CPU utilization, network throughput,<br />

or both.<br />

The multidata transmit (MDT) feature is only effective for<br />

device drivers that support this feature.<br />
