The drop_entry defense is to randomly drop entries in the
connection hash table, just in order to collect back some
memory for new connections. In the current code, the
drop_entry procedure can be activated every second, then it
randomly scans 1/32 of the whole and drops entries that are in
the SYN-RECV/SYNACK state, which should be effective against
syn-flooding attack.

The valid values of drop_entry are from 0 to 3, where 0 means
that this strategy is always disabled, 1 and 2 mean automatic
modes (when there is no enough available memory, the strategy
is enabled and the variable is automatically set to 2,
otherwise the strategy is disabled and the variable is set to
1), and 3 means that that the strategy is always enabled.

drop_packet - INTEGER

The drop_packet defense is designed to drop 1/rate packets

drop all the incoming packets.

before forwarding them to real servers. If the rate is 1, then

The value definition is the same as that of the drop_entry. In
the automatic mode, the rate is determined by the follow
formula: rate = amemthresh / (amemthresh - available_memory)
when available memory is less than the available memory
threshold. When the mode 3 is set, the always mode drop rate
is controlled by the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/vs/am_droprate.

The default value is 0, the load balancer will silently drop

If this feature is enabled, the load balancer will expire the

equivalent to the feature some people requires to flush
connections when its destination is not available.
