Hello everyone - I have thoroughly searched the internet for this error message which keeps getting prompted in my logs and drops packets. I just cant figure out why this problem is occuring. Initially, I thought it was my IPSEC connections which were the culprit but that is not true.
I have seen other explanations such as incresing your tcp max number as your physical mem. increase. Check you /proc/net/ip_conntrack file for the current connections. But none of these factors have anything to do with this error. I have only 2 connections, doing regular HTTP gets and its filling my log file: Jun 2 09:50:39 new kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet. Jun 2 09:53:29 new kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet. Jun 2 09:57:14 new kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.
