wrong order of received packets/bytes and sent packets/bytes with local incoming connections

wrong order of received packets/bytes and sent packets/bytes with local incoming connections

[alois.klingler]

hi,

in /proc/net/nf_conntrack (and also in conntrack -L) i can see received
packets/bytes and sent packets/bytes.
with connections, which are local incoming connections (i.e. a
ssh-connection from anywhere to my machine) these fields are mixed,
means that the received packets/bytes are the sent packets/bytes and vice versa.

with local outbound connections or forwarding connections these fields
are correct filled.

is there anywhere a configuation option to fix this?

I am using kernel 3.3.2 (I can see this issue already very long, not
since this kernel) and conntrack 0.9.14 (debian squeeze).

Thanks!

Best regards
Alois

I do not see any error here. The first bytes/packet= field shows
bytes flowing in the "original direction", and the other
is the reply direction.

wrong order of received packets/bytes and sent packets/bytes with local incoming connections

hi,

in /proc/net/nf_conntrack (and also in conntrack -L) i can see received 
packets/bytes and sent packets/bytes.
with connections, which are local incoming connections (i.e. a 
ssh-connection from anywhere to my machine) these fields are mixed, 
means that the received / sent is "wrong".

with local outbound connections or forwarding connections these fields 
are correct filled.

is there anywhere a configuation option to fix this?

I am using kernel 3.3.2 (I can see this issue already very long, not 
since this kernel) and conntrack 0.9.14 (sebian squeeze).
