[lvs-users] Connection count mismatch between client and LVS

[Khosrow Ebrahimpour <khosrow.ebrahimpour@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

I am seeing some odd connection behaviour between LVS and clients. I regulary 
see that the client->LVS connection count is higher from the client side than 
when I look at it on the LVS.


For example, on the client side here's what I see:

client:~# netstat -antp | grep 389
tcp      197      0 10.10.5.247:32986     10.10.3.169:389       ESTABLISHED 
1567/nslcd      
tcp        0      0 10.10.5.247:33343     10.10.3.169:389       ESTABLISHED 
1567/nslcd      
tcp        0      0 10.10.5.247:33250     10.10.3.169:389       ESTABLISHED 
1567/nslcd      
tcp        0      0 10.10.5.247:32993     10.10.3.169:389       ESTABLISHED 
1567/nslcd      
tcp        0      0 10.10.5.247:60957     10.10.3.169:389       ESTABLISHED 
1567/nslcd 


And at the same time on the lvs I see:

lb1:~# ipvsadm -Lnc | grep 10.10.5.247
TCP 08:35  ESTABLISHED 10.10.5.247:33250 10.10.3.169:389  10.10.5.34:389
TCP 08:35  ESTABLISHED 10.10.5.247:33343 10.10.3.169:389  10.10.5.34:389
TCP 06:16  ESTABLISHED 10.10.5.247:32993 10.10.3.169:389  10.10.5.38:389


I am trying to understand why the client has 5 established connections to LVS, 
while the LVS only has 3 open to the client. Is this normal behaviour?

I should add that I see this regularly on many systems. 

* The clients are all running Ubuntu (10.04 or 12.04) with nslcd 0.7.2
* The LVS is running Ubuntu 12.04, Kernel 3.2.0-24-virtual, ipvsadm 
1:1.25.clean-1ubuntu5

Thanks in advance,
