[NTLUG:Discuss] ip_conntrack questions

[Terry Henderson]

See:
# cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack

The max number of connections is set in ip_conntrack_max

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max

I think you can increase it with:

# echo "########" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max

(Where ######## is the new number amoutn to increase to.)
