Subject: Connection tracking counters increasing
Date: Thu, 07 Mar 2013 08:13:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <assp.17785d9ff5.5138BC91.9060903@amfes.com> (raw)

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere - my initial googling didn't show me.

I have an Ubuntu Precise server that is using iptables.  I've noticed 
that my connection tracking counters keep increasing - and will do so 
until failure.  I've tried a few different timeout settings to see if 
that fixes it - but so far nothing helps except increasing the maximums 
and then rebooting prior to failure.

I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong - but I don't even know where to 
look.  The only things that helps is NOT using iptables - which isn't a 
good answer!
