Hi,
I am using nginx with version 1.4.0. Getting error as : TCPv6: Possible SYN flooding on port 80. Sending cookies.
It is serving media traffic and whenever number of incoming connections crosses 7K. file size served is about 1.5Mb.
below are few details for reference :
part of nginx conf :
worker_processes auto;
events {
worker_connections 4096;
use epoll;
multi_accept on;
}
worker_rlimit_nofile 100001;
http {
include mime.types;
default_type video/mp4;
proxy_buffering on;
proxy_buffer_size 4096k;
proxy_buffers 5 4096k;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 30;
tcp_nodelay on;
tcp_nopush on;
reset_timedout_connection on;
gzip off;
server_tokens off;

-----------------
Also we are using haproxy as load balancer and requests loads are eqally distributed on servers but we can see one of the user facing servers is taking more load due to more number of io writes. all servers are of cent os and are on same kernel level.
