We had a webserver running smoothly until extreme huge traffic appeared on the bond0 interface shown in cacti. The traffic was near the double of the loadbalancer’s in- and outbound traffic. The memcached was continuously rejecting new connections.

Investigation

Memcache hit/miss ratio was almost perfect 99% / 1%. However … Continue reading →
