Subject: Segment the conntrack table resources per chain?
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:37:12 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <520A98F8.5090607@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello Netfilter,

I understand that the state table is managed by the conntrack has table 
and its size can be modified in /proc, however I would like to know if 
there is anyway to actually segment that resource on how iptables uses 
it. My goal would be to have a couple of chains each have their own 
piece of the pie, in state information.

The above is due to the fact to better isolate DoS attacks that are 
aimed to fill the state table.. so this way iam thinking the damage can 
be isolated.

If there is no conventional way, perhaps a creative way?

Thanks
Alex
