Socket Option¶

config.core.v3.SocketOption¶

Generic socket option message. This would be used to set socket options that might not exist in upstream kernels or precompiled Envoy binaries.

{
  "description": "...",
  "level": "...",
  "name": "...",
  "int_value": "...",
  "buf_value": "...",
  "state": "..."
}

description: (string) An optional name to give this socket option for debugging, etc. Uniqueness is not required and no special meaning is assumed.

level: (int64) Corresponding to the level value passed to setsockopt, such as IPPROTO_TCP

int_value

(int64) Because many sockopts take an int value.

Precisely one of int_value, buf_value must be set.

buf_value

(bytes) Otherwise it’s a byte buffer.

Precisely one of int_value, buf_value must be set.

state: (config.core.v3.SocketOption.SocketState) The state in which the option will be applied. When used in BindConfig STATE_PREBIND is currently the only valid value.

STATE_PREBIND: (DEFAULT) ⁣Socket options are applied after socket creation but before binding the socket to a port

STATE_BOUND: ⁣Socket options are applied after binding the socket to a port but before calling listen()
