Hi list,

I was directed to this list for my question. I searched many archives
but could not find any recent posts about this subject so I ask again.

I have a linux (Fedora core 3) based router. I does approximately 50Mbps
aggregated traffic. However once every week (approx) the router dies
with 'kernel: dst cache overflow' messages flooding syslog. I have
tracked it down to being an issue with the routing cache.

I was hoping someone here could give me some more information on how to
address this issue. In particular info about /proc/sys/net/route/* and
the meaning of its values (in essence the garbage collection routines).

Regards,

Jeroen Simonetti
