Hi all, I've a multigateway router doing load balancing. I've detected that a low % of packets are going out through the wrong interface. To test this I've deployed the following scenario: routerA 10.10.1.251 <=> eth1 10.10.1.1/24 router eth3 192.168.1.1/24 <=> client routerB 10.10.2.251 <=> eth2 10.10.2.1/24 On the client I've a perl script doing wgets to different urls and on both routers I've tcpdump looking for wrong packets: routerA:~# tcpdump -i eth1 -n src 10.10.2.1 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 16:28:33.540895 IP 10.10.2.1.38572 > 192.168.100.254.53: S 3734774276:3734774276(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 24681764 0,nop,wscale 1> 16:28:57.541067 IP 10.10.2.1.38572 > 192.168.100.254.53: S 3734774276:3734774276(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 24687764 0,nop,wscale 1> 16:29:45.542669 IP 10.10.2.1.38572 > 192.168.100.254.53: S 3734774276:3734774276(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 24699764 0,nop,wscale 1> routerB:~# tcpdump -i eth1 -n src 10.10.1.1 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 16:38:25.020443 IP 10.10.1.1.44962 > 80.247.32.136.82: S 3427612315:3427612315(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 24832042 0,nop,wscale 1> 16:38:41.059188 IP 10.10.1.1.50276 > 212.175.239.74.90: S 133519430:133519430(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 24836052 0,nop,wscale 1> 16:39:29.056531 IP 10.10.1.1.50276 > 212.175.239.74.90: S 133519430:133519430(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 24848052 0,nop,wscale 1> 16:48:44.961472 IP 10.10.1.1.35885 > 12.19.68.8.8008: S 250197835:250197835(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 24987036 0,nop,wscale 1> The load balacing router is hardy 2.6.24 with the following setup: # ip rule ls 0: from all lookup local 32761: from all lookup main 32762: from 10.10.1.1 lookup 2 32763: from all fwmark 0x2 lookup 2 32764: from 10.10.2.1 lookup 1 32765: from all fwmark 0x1 lookup 1 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default # ip route ls table main 10.6.7.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.6.7.12 10.10.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.2.1 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.1 10.10.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.1.1 # ip route ls table 1 default via 10.10.2.251 dev eth2 # ip route ls table 2 default via 10.10.1.251 dev eth1 # ip route ls table default default nexthop via 10.10.2.251 dev eth2 weight 1 nexthop via 10.10.1.251 dev eth1 weight 1 iptables rules just have MASQUERADING, but I've tried dropping invalid packets, SNAT, etc with the same results. Nothing on mangle but if I setup rules for policy routing using marks I also can observer same behavior. Do you know how could I debug this issue or what could be wrong ? Clients can browse when packets of their conections go out using the wrong iface.
