Kernel Parameters Which Affect Networking
Thesysctl
utility is used to set parameters which affect the operation of the Linux kernel. Kernel parameters which affect networking and have security implications are described here.Group -
Network Related Kernel Runtime Parameters for Hosts and Routers
Certain kernel parameters should be set for systems which are acting as either hosts or routers to improve the system's ability defend against certain types of IPv4 protocol attacks.Group -
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects
Disable ICMP Redirect AcceptanceValue -
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route
Trackers could be using source-routed packets to generate traffic that seems to be intra-net, but actually was created outside and has been redirected.Value -
net.ipv4.conf.default.arp_filter

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
