That's good - but you didn't write anything about your setup. Make sure that p2p traffic is in a class that gets restricted aggressively. If you're using HTB, the P2P class should have to borrow everything and have lower ceil and prio than other classes. > I have only two possible explanations, or either the CONNMARK module > introduces a very high latency when the number of entries on > /pron/net/ip_conntrack rises above lets say 800, or maybe the Ethernets > I have (cheap Ethernets) are getting saturated with that amount of > traffic. > > My server is a AMD Duron 800MHz with 768Mb of RAM. I doubt that it's CONNMARK fault. I only got a 233MHz machine doing the routing and still the CPU has loads of idle time. That little network traffic isn't so bad and 800 connections are few for 70 users.
