conntrack helper - expectations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all,

I'm operating netfilter, kernel 2.6.25.17 on a router and I have noticed the following situation in using conntrack helper and NAT helper modules.

When the reply connection which is expected by an expectation comes from a different IP and with the same source port as the destination port of the request, the reply connection gets dropped, although I have logged the connection in the FORWARD chain and it I could see it was successfully NATed.

In my practical case the situation is the following:

-Send request to 194.65.47.55, src port random, dst port 123.
-Reply comes from 213.128.200.3, src port 123, dst port same as the src of the request.

Expectation: 300 proto=17 src=0.0.0.0 dst=10.194.30.172 sport=123 dport=55437

10.194.30.172 is my router IP, then this gets NATed to a PC on the LAN. 55437 is the source port of the request.

Can anyone tell me where is the code that matches the incoming connections to the expectations tables?

Best Regards
