I can confirm the behavior you are seeing -- does seem to be a leak somewhere. Below from a heavily used gateway with 26 days uptime: # wc -l /proc/net/rt_cache ; grep ip_dst /proc/slabinfo 12870 /proc/net/rt_cache ip_dst_cache 53327 57855 Eventually I get the dst_cache overflow errors and have to reboot.
