RE: Memory leaks in ip_conntrack?

Hi Herald & All,

I verified & I find my 2.4.20 is already patched with UNCONFIRMED
connections fix. 

How it possible that /proc/slabinfo shows a lot more ip_conntracks than are
shown in "/proc/net/ip_conntrack"?. /proc/slabinfo shows that maximum
possible conntracks, 131072, are being currently used but
/proc/net/ip_conntrack  shows only 21 connections. My box is refusing new
connections because max conntracks have reached. 

Please take a look at my console output given below:

[root@Firewall root]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
13072
[root@Firewall root]# cat /proc/slabinfo | fgrep ip_conn
ip_conntrack      131072 131080    384 13108 13108    1
[root@Firewall root]# cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack | wc -l
     21

Can anyone tell how to findout which connections are using up the
conntracks.

Thanks,
Kishore
