These servers are handling thousands of connections, and we've been experiencing issues with TCP memory usage since upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04.3 from 22.04.2. $ cat /proc/net/sockstat sockets: used 6642 TCP: inuse 5962 orphan 0 tw 292 alloc 6008 mem 128989 UDP: inuse 5 mem 0 UDPLITE: inuse 0 RAW: inuse 0 FRAG: inuse 0 memory 0 As shown in the output below, even after stopping all possible services and closing all open connections, the TCP memory usage remains high and only decreases very slowly. $ cat /proc/net/sockstat sockets: used 138 TCP: inuse 2 orphan 0 tw 0 alloc 3 mem 128320 UDP: inuse 3 mem 0 UDPLITE: inuse 0 RAW: inuse 0 FRAG: inuse 0 memory 0 I have attached a screenshot of linear TCP memory usage growth, which we believe may indicate a TCP memory leak When net.ipv4.tcp_mem limit is reached, it causes network slowdown We've never had these issues before, and the only solution we've found so far is to reboot the node. Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot further? Thank you for any help or guidance you can provide!
