bob the problem is i want to know how much iptables uses the system RAM...top does give me many useful figures but not the ones i want... as i wrote earlier--my RH7.2-kernel 2.4.18 iptables 1.2.5 with squid2.4Stable3, & few other process takes only about 150-160 mb of the 512mb RAM in the system !!.. but the free RAM is only 3mb ... i know on 512 the max conntrack is about 32200appx & the active connection on my system has maximum gone to about 5500( fgrep conn /proc/slabinfo). iproute is the only other modules running on my system which has 5 ether port.... port0 is the interface to gateway... port1 handles office lan with 60 valid ips... port2 handles RAS having 1 E1 line on valid ip... port4 has lease lines about 224 valid ips ..& port5 has masqueraded clients--those having private ips about 120 of them.. therfore i want to know where everytime the RAM goes !!..( squid uses only about 25%)... iproute handling bandwidth or iptables ?? sorry i dint gave any details in my previous mails but as u c am curious on the amount of RAM being used & where? thanx & regards A.H
