My network slowly experinces slowness, intill it eventually dies off. And i am hoping someone that has had this problem could help:

Kernel: 2.6.18-348.4.1.el5.028stab107.1

Nov 4 00:19:46 909I7 kernel: ip_conntrack: CT 102: table full, dropping packet.

It will then slowly DST Cache overflow.

At this point, i am a tad lost on what to do.

here is the sysctl.conf file:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.proxy_arp = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
kernel.sysrq = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0
kernel.panic = 10
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 786432 1048576 1572864
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max=196608
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save=1
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv = 5
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established = 600
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent = 15
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_fin_wait = 3
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait = 3
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait = 3
net.ipv4.route.gc_thresh = 131072


Any help to fix this so it stops the crashes and slowness, is greatly helpful.

Thanks,

Kevin Hammett

Hello, KevinH!

I will recommend you to enlarge a buffer for conntrack buckets up to 1-3 millions (it's ok for modern systems).

You can do it by a following commands:
edit /etc/sysctl.conf and fix:
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max=1548576


Apply changes:

sysctl -p


You can entirely disable connnection tracking for certain CT with following commands:
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -d VPS_IP -j NOTRACK
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -s VPS_IP -j NOTRACK


Be aware about using last command, it result to completely disable RELATED/ESTABLISHED flags to working inside container.

In addition I recommend you to upgrade from pretty old kernels 2.6.18 to modern 2.6.32 kernel series. Oh, sorry, I forgot to specify link, it's here https://openvz.org/028_to_042_kernel_upgrade
