From 53b47106c0c2b1f42237d255ae272f0fcc3ec413 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florent Fourcot Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2013 17:53:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: increase maximum lifetime of flow labels If the last RFC 6437 does not give any constraints for lifetime of flow labels, the previous RFC 3697 spoke of a minimum of 120 seconds between reattribution of a flow label. The maximum linger is currently set to 60 seconds and does not allow this configuration without CAP_NET_ADMIN right. This patch increase the maximum linger to 150 seconds, allowing more flexibility to standard users. Signed-off-by: Florent Fourcot Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.
