I fully agree. I mention this all the time. > Did you start chasing hashing because you saw some large numbers > in profiles? No. I looked at the hash function and bucket sizes, because I now have machines in the field running conntrack, and I wanted to understand how I should chose an appropriate size. So I took real world conntrack snapshots on those machines, and analysed. I learned all there is to learn about the question, and present the results for others to use like they see fit. End of story. Again, I have no performance trouble with conntracking on any of my production systems. best regards Patrick -- everything is under control. (Hardware)
