NAT question [message #51388]

Hi

recently I have mounted a new centos 6 with openvz. At the final step, I was tring to give internet to vps with NAT iptables but I got this problem

v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist

I have noticed that after install openvz kernel, new file in /etc/modprobe.conf is crated with the next line:

options ip_conntrack ip_conntrack_disable_ve0=1

If I comment the line of the file then I can apply the rule and centos does not complaint like before.

Why this? I doon't understand. Can you give me some information about it?

Thanks

vzctl prints the following upon adding this line:

============================================================ ================
Due to conntrack impact on venet performance, conntrack need to be disabled
on the host system (it will still work for containers).

Adding the following option to /etc/modprobe.d/openvz.conf

options nf_conntrack ip_conntrack_disable_ve0=1

This change will take effect only after the next reboot.

NOTE: IF YOU NEED conntrack functionality, edit $file NOW,
changing =1 to =0. DO NOT REMOVE the line, or it will be re-added!
============================================================ ================

I think this explains it. Also, make sure you DO NOT COMMENT OUT this line, but change the parameter value to 0, otherwise it might be re-added during vzctl upgrage.

is there more information available as to what the performance impact of conntrack on ve0 is and why it was decided now that it will be disabled by default?
