Hi again
On loaded router
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_count = 415633
passing about 100-150 Mbps
network cards 3xe100, 1xe1000e
i tried to issue command cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack |grep 'something'
Router went dead for about 2 minutes, even i disconnect ssh session.
Ping was looks like this:
64 bytes from dotfib (10.184.184.1): icmp_seq=15 ttl=61 time=4321 ms

I dont think it is normal, and such command taking a lot of system resources
and cause whole system to hang.
