Ok, i will give it a try. nf_conntrack_max is set to 262144 (default?).
I would set it to 1024000. Do you have any recommondation for this
value? ip_vs_conn shows 18753 entries.

As we do not use any iptables rule or connection tracking (except for
ipvs) on the loadbalancer, could it be an option for performance
optimization to disable nf_conntrack (like ip_conntrack in the past) or
is it essentially needed for proper ipvs functionality?

Just an additional info: we use Intel X710 10Gbit NICs.

Thanks.
