I have an application listening on an ipfw 'fwd' rule. I'm sending ~3K new sessions per second to it. It has to turn around and issue some of these out as a proxy, in response to which some of them the destination host won't exist.
I have RST limiting on. I'm seeing messages like: Limiting open port RST response from 1312 to 200 packets per second come out sometimes. After a while of such operation (~1/2 hour), the machine becomes unresponsive: the network interfaces no longer respond, the serial console responds to ^T yielding a status line, but ^C etc do nothing, and the bash which was there won't give me a prompt. ^T indicates my bash is running, 0% of CPU in use, etc. I have no choice but to power-cycle it. Any suggestions for how one would start debugging this to find out where its stuck, and how? This is running 4.7 STABLE on a single XEON 2.0 GHz, 1GB of memory. The bandwidth wasn't that high, varying between 3 and 30Mbps. Perhaps related, sometimes I get: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting The only NIC which is active is bge0. I have an 'em0' which is idle (no IP), and an fxp0 (which has an IP but is idle). --don ([EMAIL PROTECTED] www.sandvine.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
