We have an edgerouter pro 8 running 1.8.5, in front of the small cloud platform Im running at work. However after a few weeks the conntrack table fills up. The conntrack table doesn't have any garbage collection. It allows the table to build up until it won't allow new connections
a) Why doesn't it garbage collect?
b) Why isn't the management plane protected with a separate table?
Would appreciate your advice?
Many thanks
Andrew
