For now I see "possible SYN flooding on port %d. Sending cookies.\n" message each second on my server. I know that there are a lot of SYNs and I know that kernel sends cookie. Why do I need so mach printk?
So I suggested add new value to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies, which will enable cookie but this printk will be turned off.
