Traced down why connections are being refused under heavy load but how to fix?
-
With a FRESH install of embedded, just basic nat configuration and running torrents, I start to get more and more connections refused as if I ran out of states. My state count is 4059/100000 so that's not a problem. When I run tcpdump using,
tcpdump -i ath0 (tcp[13] & 16 != 0) and (dst port http)
I notice that when my connections get rejected (incomplete web page loads), i see the following:

sysctl net.inet.tcp.sack.enable=0 try this command. Does it fix your issues?

I think it does help a little with the problem but sites are still not loading up completely. Are small packets like css info and other things like that getting dropped?
I see the following:

This is driving me crazy. I'm surprised no one else has seen this…

Sorry, disabling the sack did not help. Can someone please look at my status.php and see if there is something wrong with all the traffic coming into my box?

I have dual wan and sometimes the cable modem changes IP once every few months and my lan rule to route all hosts on the same subnet is slightly incorrect. Fixed now. When I don't torrent, everything is fine and dandy. Anyone see any glaring statistics when i'm torrenting?
-
I have the same problem.
I have two 18mbit(down) 2.5mbit(up) links and it seems to happen when i am seeding torrents.
I will leave ubuntu seeding when i am at work today and see if it happens.

System>advanced: Bump up the maximum firewallstates value. You also can monitor states either at status>system or by viewing the corresponding states rrd graph (status>rrdgraphs). Maybe you are running just out of states.

You guys mentioned the word "torrents".
My question : are you sure that some one isn't filtering upstream ??
Some kind of QOS system used by your ISP ? -
I can't confirm 100% but on my wrt54g modded with tomato firmware, I can run for a long time and my connection doesn't slow down.
Also how I know it is not the ISP problem and it is the pfsense box because getting internally to 192.168.1.1 is a big problem too. Connections are reset, refresh 15 times and 1 time the page will load half.
Sigh

I can't confirm 100% but on my wrt54g modded with tomato firmware, …
Just forget about my question. If another router works, then no ISP troubles.
-
No ideas still?
-
I can't believe I was so dumb. It is NOT PFSENSE and it was my windows xp sp2 causing it. I thought I had cracked the tcpip.sys to allow more than 10 syn connections but I guess I didn't. It was XP causing the problems and when I boosted the number of connections to 50, i'm all fine (crosses fingers)
THANKS!

I never thought it was a good idea from microsoft to set such a low limit :P
