Hello everyone,
I was inspecting my node and just saw that it has a very high number of connections.
It jumped from the normal 6000-7000 to more than 17000 simultaneous connections.
Looking at the connections with `ss` I see some hosts with over 1000 connections while the majority is usually bellow 10.
Here are some stats with the IP and the associated number of simultaneous connections:
212.32.226.237 : 1531 207.244.110.200 : 1520 162.210.192.70 : 1471 207.244.70.120 : 1455 198.7.59.194 : 1454 212.32.239.28 : 1450 5.79.103.239 : 1414 5.79.103.238 : 1401 51.15.162.120 : 1379 37.48.104.231 : 56 5.79.72.66 : 26 37.48.105.240 : 25 212.83.3.154 : 25 78.46.99.242 : 23 178.63.47.145 : 18 46.4.84.142 : 17 213.133.100.55 : 17 46.4.106.87 : 15 144.76.18.214 : 14
Is it normal for a single host to produce so many connections?
How do you people handle such situations?
Thanks
