Subject: Extending connmark to 64 bits
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 23:14:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447802062.16644.12.camel@mattb-dl> (raw)
Hello,
Currently we have a number of router features making use of connection
tracking. As such we now require more than the 32 bits connmark
currently has. Our first inclination is to extend this field to 64 bits
and update related areas of code appropriately.
The major question we have is whether there is a reason this field is 32
bits (performance reasons or other)?
If it is not possible to extend this field then perhaps there are other
options (beyond disabling some features making use of connection
tracking)?
Thanks,
Matt
