I am trying to add multiple IP addresses ( v6 ) to my FC7 box on eth0. But I am hitting a max limit of 4000 IP address . Seems like there is a limiting variable in linux kernel (which one? ) that prevents from adding more IP addresses than 4096. What do I need to change in Linux kernel ( and then recompile ) to be able to add more IP addresses than 4K addresses per system? ..
We are adding tens of thousand IPv4 addresses using netlink interface without any problems. The maximum we added was 60K of secondary IPv4 addresses. It consumes some memory, however. We have also added thousands of IPv6. I will try to test, if there is any limit for doing it. -- Sincerely, Robert Iakobashvili, coroberti %x40 gmail %x2e com ........................................................... http://curl-loader.sourceforge.net A web testing and traffic generation tool.
