In some environments where both nodes of a cluster share all the conntracks,
after an initial or manual resync, the conntrack information diverges from
node to node.
I have observed that this is not due to syncronization problems, given the
link between the nodes is very stable and stats show no issues.
So, this could be due to every node of the cluster seing slighly different
traffic and flow updates, perhaps different tiemouts being applied to
the conntracks in every node.
A manual resync (using conntrackd -n) resolves these issues inmediately.
This new configuration option tells conntrackd to request a resync
with the other node, similar to what could happen manually using
the 'conntrackd -n' command.
By now this option is only valid in NOTRACK sync mode.
Example configuration:
[...]
Sync {
Mode NOTRACK {
DisableInternalCache on
DisableExternalCache on
RequestResync 30
}
TCP {
IPv4_address 127.0.0.1
IPv4_Destination_Address 127.0.0.1
Port 3780
Interface eth0
SndSocketBuffer 1249280
RcvSocketBuffer 1249280
Checksum on
}
Options {
TCPWindowTracking Off
ExpectationSync On
}
}
[...]
