Re: "new not syn" packets.. false positive?

'not syn' packets are any TCP packets that don't contain the SYN flag.

"NEW" packets are ones for which conntrack cannot find an existing
entry in the conntrack table.

Asymmetric routing, routing changes, timeouts, evictions from the table
caused by large amounts of traffic.. All of these could be reasons why
an entry doesn't exist in the table for a non-SYN packet.
