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.
