[lvs-users] Inactive connections in IPVS Table

[Ganesh <ganeshprasad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
  We are running a loadbalancer with ipvsadm-1.24-6. For the last few 
days we are getting a stiff increase in number of inactive connections 
(about 3800) in ipvs table. After observation I got that many connection 
entries which are either UDP or in TCP FIN_WAIT state keeps on resetting 
their TIMEOUT value to 60 sec. after it becomes zero.
IPVS connection entries
pro     expire   state       source                           
virtual                             destination
UDP  00:59    UDP     220.227.223.25:54725  220.227.223.249:5000   
97.242.123.4:5000

  Although the above connection terminated 2 days back, it's connection 
entry is still in IPVS table and the timer is updated to 60 sec after it 
becomes zero.
The timeout value for connections is (tcp tcpfin udp): 900 120 300 .
  Is there any way to clear these entries or i need to modify some 
configuration parameters.
