The ISP didn’t mention - I would have to ask. What I saw was that the traffic was up about linear from usually 30Mbits to above 100 Mbits over about 6 hours, bringing the CPU to 100% and dropping. Am 01.08.2016 um 14:36 schrieb Markus Koch: > How many packets per second? > > Markus > > > > 2

[tor-relays] Syslog: Kernel TCP: Too many orphaned sockets

I looked at my exit relay's syslog for no specific reason, and saw that it was flooded with the following message: kernel: [1736405.162223] TCP: too many orphaned sockets These messages occur multiple times per second, but they only flood the log every couple of hours. What is this, and what does
