pool4 display

Show one of the tables from the IPv4 transport address pool.
(Each protocol has one table.)

pool4 add

Upload an entry to the IPv4 transport address pool.

pool4 remove

(Each protocol has one table.)

bib add

bib remove

Remove an entry (static or otherwise) from the BIB.

session display

Show one of the the session tables.
(Each protocol has one table.)

session follow

Listen to the instance's sessions (whenever they are updated) forever, printing them in standard output.
The instance must have ss-enabled=1.

session proxy

Listen to sessions forever, exchanging them between the instance and other listening proxies.
The -i instance must have ss-enabled=1.

session advertise

Requests the instance to send its entire session table to listening followers and proxies.

file handle

Parse all the configuration from a JSON file.
Create instance if it doesn't exist, update if it does.

Flags

--instance <Name>

Name of the instance you want to interact with.
It's an ASCII string, 15 characters max. Defaults to 'default'.

--file <File>

JSON file which contains the name of the instance you want to interact with.
Same JSON structure as the one from atomic configuration.

--tcp

Apply the operation on the TCP table.
(This is the default table.)

--udp

Apply the operation on the UDP table.

--icmp

Apply the operation on the ICMP table.

--csv

Output in CSV table format.

--no-headers

Do not print table headers. (Nor footer, if applies.)

--netfilter

Sit the instance on top of the Netfilter framework.

--iptables

Sit the instance on top of the iptables framework.

--pool6 <IPv6-prefix>

Contents of the new instance's IPv6 pool.
The format is 'PREFIX_ADDRESS[/PREFIX_LENGTH]'.

--all

Show all the counters.
(Otherwise, only the nonzero ones are printed.)

--explain

Show a description of each counter.

--mark <Mark>

The pool4 entry will only be allowed to mask packets carrying this mark.
It's a 32-bit unsigned integer. Defaults to zero.

--max-iterations (auto | infinity | <Iterations>)

Maximum number of times the mask-finding algorithm will be allowed to iterate.
auto computes a recommended default,
infinity removes the iteration cap,
<Iterations> (unsigned 32-bit integer) sets the actual number.

--force

Apply operation even if certain validations fail.

--quick

Do not remove orphaned BIB and session entries.

--numeric

Do not query the DNS.

Other Arguments

<Key> <Value>

Name of the variable you want to edit (see 'Globals' section), and its new value.

<IPv4-Address> <Ports>

Descriptor of the range of transport addresses you want to add or remove from the pool.
<Ports> is a range of ports; it should follow the format '<Min>[-<Max>]'.
The command will add or remove addresses <IPv4-Address>#<Min> to <IPv4-Address>#<Max>.

<IPv6-transport-address>, <IPv4-transport-address>

Transport addresses that shape the BIB entry you want to add or remove.
The format is 'IPV6_ADDRESS#PORT' and 'IPV4_ADDRESS#PORT', respectively.

<Instance-Name>

Name of the instance you want to add or remove.
If --instance or --file were included in <argp1>, then the instance names must match.

<JSON-file>

Path to a JSON file.

<NETMCASTADDR>

Address SS traffic will be sent to and listened from.

<NETMCASTPORT>

UDP port where SS traffic will be sent to and listened from.

<NETDEVIN>

Address or interface to bind the socket in.
If <NETMCASTADDR> is IPv4, this should be one addresses from the interface where the SS traffic is expected to be received. If <NETMCASTADDR> is IPv6, this should be the name of the interface (eg. eth0).

<NETDEVOUT>

If <NETMCASTADDR> is IPv4, this should be one addresses from the interface where the multicast traffic is expected to be sent. If <NETMCASTADDR> is IPv6, this should be the name of the interface (eg. eth0).

<NETTTL>

Same as IP_MULTICAST_TTL, from ip(7).

<STATSADDR>

Address for (optional) statistics server.

<STATSPORT>

Port for the <STATSADDR> server.

Globals

manually-enabled <Boolean>

Enable or disable the instance.

pool6 <IPv6 Prefix>

The IPv6 pool's prefix.
The format is 'PREFIX_ADDRESS[/PREFIX_LENGTH]'.

lowest-ipv6-mtu <Unsigned 32-bit integer>

Smallest reachable IPv6 MTU.

logging-debug <Boolean>

Enable logging of debug messages?

zeroize-traffic-class <Boolean>

Always set the IPv6 header's 'Traffic Class' field as zero?
Otherwise copy from IPv4 header's 'TOS'.

override-tos <Boolean>

Override the IPv4 header's 'TOS' field as --tos?
Otherwise copy from IPv6 header's 'Traffic Class'.
