Ok, funny thing is that we just found what is occurring...
We had a process that was on a regular basis doing the following :
conntrack -F
This was done in order to prevent the table to grow too big, because we
were reaching the maximum size as told by :
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max
and
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_count
Seems like when there are active connections, this will break netfilter
and stop delivering packets to the socket.
At least I will have nice sleep tonight.
Best,
Nicolas
