Subject: conntrack performance test results in INVALID packets
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:39:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <488064DD.5080509@bock.nu> (raw)

Hi,

I'm performance testing a firewall with netfilter connection tracking 
based on Fedora Core 9 and I'm having some problems.

Every now and then the firewall drops packets in the state "INVALID".

The test setup is as follows:
- I'm using plain HTTP as test traffic, nothing else.
- Client is an ApacheBench (ab) client.
- Server is Apache.
- HTTP connection keepalive with a maximum lifetime of
   30 seconds per TCP session.

With 100 parallel TCP connections, it works. With 1000 parallel TCP 
connections, I start seeing INVALID packets.

Can somebody point me in a direction where to search for the root cause?

best regards
Bernhard
