[Planetlab-users] Setting: ip_forward

[abakr at stevens.edu]

Hello All,

I am trying to set ip_forward value on a planetlab node using the command:
   > sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

But, I got this error;
   error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.ip_forward'


Can I set ip_forward value or not ? and why?

I need to use planetlab node as a router to forward data to next hops.


Regards,

Alam Bakr
