Re: "Operation not permitted" from nf_conntrack under high UDP load

Hi,

just to close this one, after a lot of debugging we found the cause
for this issue. When this error occurs, the SIP server is sending out
two packets to the same destination (IP:port) at roughly the same
time. This causes a race condition in nf_conntrack when inserting a
new tuple into the conntrack table, leading to one of the two packets
getting rejected by the kernel.

Looks like there is no other solution for this problem than building a
stateless firewall and unloading the nf_conntrack module.

Best Regards,
Sebastian
