From 05c78bc9b5c198a3bd9211aabe467acbbb672b8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:53:23 +0200 Subject: doc: remove example about CacheWriteTrough This patch removes the documentation about the CacheWriteTrhough clause. This feature is scheduled for removal since the asynchronous nature of conntrackd does not allow multi-path routing support. I'm lying, actually there's a chance to support it, but we have to guarantee that the RTT in the message synchronization between the firewall is smaller than the RTT between the peer and the firewalls. Moreover, this option has made more bad than good since people enable it when things don't work. Making the whole troubleshooting more complicated.
