[PATCH 1/2] IPVS: secure_tcp does provide alternate state timeouts

From: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>
Date: 2011-10-01 03:34:18
Also in: lvs-devel, netfilter-devel
Subsystem: documentation, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

* Also reword the test to make it read more easily (to me)

Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>

Julian, I don't see that IPVS currently implements alternate
timeouts for secure_tcp. Am I missing something?
