Hi, All When I tested Linux-2.6.20 and found that counter "ipOutNoRoutes" can not increase correctly. The criteria is RFC2011
ipOutNoRoutes OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of IP datagrams discarded because no route could be found to transmit them to their destination. Note that this counter includes any packets counted in ipForwDatagrams which meet this `no-route' criterion. Note that this includes any datagrams which a host cannot route because all of its default routers are down." ::= { ip 12 } In current Linux TCP/IP stack, maybe we should not increase this counter in "input path", but only increase it in "output path" due to the TCP/IP stack performance. Now in "output path", when TCP client tries to connect to an unreachable server(net unreachable, so no route can be found), this counter has no increment. When we use UDP sending UDP datagram to an net unreachable address, this counter also has no increment. Function need to fix: tcp_v4_connect(); ip4_datagram_connect(); udp_sendmsg(); The following patch can fix the problems mentioned above BR Wei Dong signed-off-by: Wei Dong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> diff -ruN old/net/ipv4/datagram.c new/net/ipv4/datagram.c --- old/net/ipv4/datagram.c 2007-02-02 12:28:54.000000000 -0500 +++ new/net/ipv4/datagram.c 2007-02-02 12:29:01.000000000 -0500 @@ -50,8 +50,10 @@ RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk), oif, sk->sk_protocol, inet->sport, usin->sin_port, sk); - if (err) + if (err) { + IP_INC_STATS_BH(IPSTATS_MIB_OUTNOROUTES); return err; + } if ((rt->rt_flags & RTCF_BROADCAST) && !sock_flag(sk, SOCK_BROADCAST)) { ip_rt_put(rt); return -EACCES; diff -ruN old/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c new/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c --- old/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c 2007-02-02 12:28:54.000000000 -0500 +++ new/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c 2007-02-02 12:29:01.000000000 -0500 @@ -192,8 +192,10 @@ RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk), sk->sk_bound_dev_if, IPPROTO_TCP, inet->sport, usin->sin_port, sk); - if (tmp < 0) + if (tmp < 0) { + IP_INC_STATS_BH(IPSTATS_MIB_OUTNOROUTES); return tmp; + } if (rt->rt_flags & (RTCF_MULTICAST | RTCF_BROADCAST)) { ip_rt_put(rt); diff -ruN old/net/ipv4/udp.c new/net/ipv4/udp.c --- old/net/ipv4/udp.c 2007-02-02 12:28:54.000000000 -0500 +++ new/net/ipv4/udp.c 2007-02-02 12:29:01.000000000 -0500 @@ -630,8 +630,10 @@ .dport = dport } } }; security_sk_classify_flow(sk, &fl); err = ip_route_output_flow(&rt, &fl, sk, !(msg->msg_flags&MSG_DONTWAIT)); - if (err) + if (err) { + IP_INC_STATS_BH(IPSTATS_MIB_OUTNOROUTES); goto out; + } err = -EACCES; if ((rt->rt_flags & RTCF_BROADCAST) && - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
