I am running squid with tproxy having followed the wiki Features/TPROXY in bridged mode. Squid is working properly with no evident errors in the logs, however initial requests are extremely slow to respond. i.e the first request for yahoo.com may take several seconds to retrieve the information and return a page to the requester, the second request is nearly instantaneous. And as long as the page is requested over and over the page will remain instantaneous. If the page is not requested for say longer than 45 seconds, the response time goes back to taking several seconds to respond. I believe this not to necessarily be a squid issue, but perhaps a routing issue as if I turn off the ebtables and iptables request/response times drastically improve. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon?

*ebtables and iptables:*

ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -i eth1 -p ipv4 --ip-proto tcp --ip-dport 80 -j redirect --redirect-target DROP ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -i eth0 -p ipv4 --ip-proto tcp --ip-sport 80 -j redirect --redirect-target DROP

I'm a little fuzzy on when BROUTING takes place. DROP does not look that good though. Can you clarify what the above does in your understanding please?


Going by the packet flow map http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/PacketFlow.png I would think the packets on a bridge device naturally flow along the bottom line of processing (blue). Which does include the iptables mangle PREROUTING table containing the TPROXY and DIVERT rules.

Have you tried it without the special ebtables rules, only the iptables rules?

There _may_ be some need for adding an ACCEPT for port 80 stuff in the ebtables filter INPUT/OUTPUT tables. But other than that I would expect the iptables mangle stuff to be all.

iptables -t mangle -N DIVERT
iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j MARK --set-mark 1
iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m socket -j DIVERT
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY --tproxy-mark 0x1/0x1 --on-port 3129
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100
ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100
cd /proc/sys/net/bridge/
for i in *
do
 echo 0 > $i
done
unset i


If running strictly bridged without ebtables or iptables, requests are processed at 'normal' speed but nothing is passed on to squid for cacheing. I went so far as running squid as a memory only cache and tried running with squid-3.1.0.8 with the same results. Any help speeding this up would be most appreciated.
