This means that the number of connections being tracked to/from your
machine is exceeding the allocated size. You can review the table
to see what's going on:
# cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack
The maximum number of connections is set in
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
and can be changed with the following instruction but remember that
the larger the table the more system memory it will consume.
# echo "max_number" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
It can also be instructive to run the utility "iptstate" to show
your active connections and the associated timing.
