This patch updates the user manual on how to enable the expectation
support for conntrackd.

This patch adds support to synchronize expectations between
firewalls. This addition aims to re-use as much as possible
of the existing infrastructure for stability reasons. The
expectation support has been tested with the FTP helper.
This extension requires libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.0.
If this is the first time you're playing with conntrackd,
I *strongly* recommend you to get working setup of conntrackd
without expectation support before as described in the
documentation. Then, enabling expectation support is rather
easy.
To know more about expectations, if you're not familiar with them,
I suggest you to read:
"Netfilter's Connection Tracking System"
http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/docs/login.pdf
Reprinted from ;login: The Magazine of USENIX, vol. 31, no. 3
(Berkeley, CA: USENIX Association, 2006, pp40-45.)
In short, expectations allow one Linux firewall to filter multi-flow
traffic like FTP, SIP and H.323.
In my testbed, there are two firewalls in a primary-backup configuration
running keepalived. The use a couple of floating cluster IP address
(192.168.0.100 and 192.168.1.100) that are used by the client. These
firewalls protect one FTP server (192.168.1.2) that will be accessed by
one client.
In ASCII art, it looks like this:
192.168.0.100 192.168.1.100
eth1 eth2
fw-1
/ \ FTP
-- client ------ ------ server --
192.168.0.2 \ / 192.168.1.2
fw-2
This is the rule-set for the firewalls:
-A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.2/32 -d 192.168.1.2/32 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.100
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP
-A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i eth2 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -m state --state INVALID -j LOG --log-prefix "invalid: "
The following steps detail how to check that the expectation support
works fine for conntrackd:
1) You have to enable the expectation support in the configuration
file with the following option:
Sync {
...
Options {
ExpectationSync {
ftp
sip
h323
}
}
}
This enables expectation synchronization for the FTP, SIP and H.323 helpers.
You can alternatively use:
Sync {
...
Options {
ExpectationSync On
}
}
To enable expectation synchronization for all helpers.
2) Make sure you have loaded the FTP helper in both firewalls.
root@fw1# modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp
root@fw2# modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp
3) Switch to the client. Start one FTP control connection to one
server that is protected by the firewalls, enter passive mode:
(term-1) user@client$ nc 192.168.1.2 21
220 dummy FTP server
USER anonymous
331 Please specify the password.
PASS nothing
230 Login successful.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,163,11).
This means that port 163*256+11=41739 will be used for the data
traffic. Read this if you are not familiar with the FTP protocol:
http://www.freefire.org/articles/ftpexample.php
3) Switch to fw-1 (primary) to check that the expectation is in the
internal cache.
root@fw1# conntrackd -i exp
proto=6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=0 dport=41739 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.0.2 master-dst=192.168.1.2 sport=36390 dport=21 [active since 5s]
4) Switch to fw-2 (backup) to check that the expectation has been successfully
replicated.
root@fw2# conntrackd -e exp
proto=6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=0 dport=41739 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.0.2 master-dst=192.168.1.2 sport=36390 dport=21 [active since 8s]
5) Make the primary firewall fw-1 fail. Now fw-2 becomes primary.
6) Switch to fw-2 (primary) to commit the external cache into the kernel.
root@fw2# conntrackd -c exp
The logs should display that the commit was successful:
root@fw2# tail -100f /var/log/conntrackd.log
[Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] committing external cache: expectations
[Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] Committed 1 new entries
[Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] commit has taken 0.000366 seconds
7) Switch to the client. Open a new terminal and connect to the port that
has been announced by the server:
(term-2) user@client$ nc -vvv 192.168.1.2 41739
(UNKNOWN) [192.168.1.2] 41739 (?) open
8) Switch to term-1 and ask for the file listing:
[...]
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,163,11).
LIST
9) Switch to term-2, it should display the listing. That means
everything has worked fine.
You may want to try disabling the expectation support and
repeating the steps to check that *it does not work* without
the state-synchronization.
You can also display expectation statistics by means of:
root@fwX# conntrackd -s exp
This update requires no changes in the primary-backup.sh script
that is used by the HA manager to interact with conntrackd. Thus,
we provide a backward compatible command line interface.
Regarding the Filter clause and expectations, we use the master
conntrack to filter expectation events. The filtering is performed
in user-space. No kernel-space filtering support for expectations
yet (this support should go in libnetfilter_conntrack at some
point).
This patch also includes support to disable caching and to allow
direct injection of expectations.

This is required to prepare the expectation support.
The master, expect and mask objects that are part of the
conntrack object do not have any reply information. This

We now include one pointer to the object in the extra section.
This is required to generalize this code for the expectation
support. We consume 4-8 bytes extra, but we will not need more
changes to support expectations which is a good idea.

This patch simplifies cache_get_extra which now takes only one

This patch generalizes the network message building and parsing
to prepare the upcoming expectation support.
Basically, it renames:
- NET_T_STATE_* by NET_T_STATE_CT_*, as I plan to add NET_T_STATE_EXP_*
- BUILD_NETMSG by BUILD_NETMSG_FROM_CT, and build_payload by ct2msg.
I plan to add exp2msg.
- parse_payload by msg2ct, since I plan to add msg2exp.
- modify object_status_to_network_type to prepare the support of
expectations.
- add prefix ct_ to all parsing functions in parse.c, as we will have
similar functions to convert messages to expectation objects.

Most callers of queue_add() assume that it returns != 0 in case of
success. However, it may return -1 in case that the queue gets full.
In that case, most callers have to:
- release the object that they want to enqueue.
- decrement the refcount, in case they have bumped it.
However, most of these callers are using the tx_queue which currently
has no limit in size at all. This fix is necessary in case that I
decide to limit the size of the transmission queue in the future
(which makes a lot of sense indeed).

This speeds up operation when a lot of conntracks exist, but only
a few of them have to be altered.
This change is user-visible because the exit message
("%d flow entries have been updated") will now print the number of entries
that have been altered instead of the total number of conntracks seen.

Extend --mark option to optionally take a mask, seperated
by '/', e.g. --mark 0x80/0xf0.
When used with -L, only test those bits of the mark that
are in the mask range (behaves like iptables like -m mark).
When used with -U, zero out those bits indicated by the mask and
XOR the new mark into the result (behaves like iptables -j MARK
--set-xmark).
