i ran into this problem a while ago, and i did the following:

echo 8192 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1
echo 8192 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh2
echo 8192 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh3

and all my problems were solved

  Hi,

  I regularly have errors (kernel: dst cache overflow) and crash of a
  firewall under Linux 2.6.17 and the route patch from Julian Anastasov.

  With rtstat I see that the route cache size increases regularly without
  never decreasing.

  I have this parameters:
  fw:/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route# grep . *
  error_burst:1250
  error_cost:250
  gc_elasticity:15
  gc_interval:60
  gc_min_interval:0
  gc_min_interval_ms:500
  gc_thresh:4096
  gc_timeout:300
  max_delay:10
  max_size:65536
  min_adv_mss:256
  min_delay:2
  min_pmtu:552
  mtu_expires:600
  redirect_load:5
  redirect_number:9
  redirect_silence:5120
  secret_interval:600

  I can increase the maximum size of the cache, but that will do nothing
  but delay the crash.

Hi,

I think that my problem comes from the route cache and not ARP cache:

- http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2007q1/020067.html

I read several thread of discusion on this problem, but I did not find a solution.

Regards.
