Hmm no not wrong, i am sure that wc -l /proc/net/ip_conntrack represents current contrack but not so sure the value from /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max represents numbers of connections, it may represents memory or othere measure units of tracked connections ? Just try to increase, to test increase cost you nothing just a little experiment. I solved some droping problems by increase /proc/net/ip_conntrack so increasing it worked for me. Otherwise dont know, maybe it is broken in kernel ?!? > > Balint Cristian wrote: > > On Tuesday 17 June 2003 15:23, Farkas Levente wrote: > >>hi, > >>I forgot to mention that it can't be the reason: > >># cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max > >>48632 > >> > >>Balint Cristian wrote: > >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max > >>>8184 > >>> > >>>It is 8000 entry by default > >>> > >>>you can change it: > >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# > > > > echo 1024000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max > > > > try much higher value than 48632 !!! > > > >>>Be careful if increase will eat more memory .... > >>> > >>>On Tuesday 17 June 2003 14:29, Farkas Levente wrote: > >>>>hi, > >>>>we've a fully updated rh8.0 firewall with kernel-2.4.20-18.8, > >>>>iptables-1.2.6a-2. we got the following error about once a week: > >>>>----------------------------------------- > >>>>Jun 13 05:21:41 portal kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping > >>>> packet.
