[SR-Users] UDP send: Operation not permitted

[Sebastian Damm]

Hi,

we have a load balancer which is handling a lot of SIP traffic all day.
There's always 20-40 Mbit SIP traffic going through. From time to time we
see in our logs messages like these:

Sep 16 09:46:28 ecker /usr/sbin/kamailio[25505]: ERROR: <core>

I know that these messages can be produced by iptables blocking the
outbound traffic. But our outbound chain looks basically like this:

root at ecker:~# iptables-save | grep OUTPUT
:OUTPUT DROP [0:0]
-A OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP
-A OUTPUT -o lo -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

We don't have the nf_ct_sip module loaded, syslog doesn't say anything, and
even clearing all iptables rules doesn't eliminate those errors.

Has anyone ever seen this? It looks like a load thing, because at weekends
there are significantly less errors.

Thanks,
Sebastian
