Hi,Guys,
I have setup dual WAN on my router for over two years. Today I found in the syslog it displayed the following error msg. (The total threads was over 1200 since yesterday). So far no impact to my home network.

Code:
maven@PSU-AX56U-CM:/jffs# grep "kernel: TCP: mptcp_fallback_infinite" /tmp/syslog.log | more

I had a look in the search engine, the results indicated something related to the Linux kernel. I don't have any clue on it.
Any thoughts on this?

Here is my router WAN setup:

Code:
WAN connection type: PPPoE
Enable NAT: Yes, Symmetric
Enable UPnP: No
Get the WAN IP automatically: Yes
Dual WAN Mode: NLB
Load Balance Configuration: 1:1
Enable Port Trigger: No
Enable Port Forwarding: OFF
Enable DMZ: No
Enable the DDNS Client: No
PPTP Passthrough,L2TP Passthrough,IPSec Passthrough: No
RTSP Passthrough,H.323 Passthrough,SIP Passthrough: Yes
PPPoE Relay: No
Enable Firewall: Yes
Enable DoS Protection: Yes
Log packets type: none
Respond ICMP echo from WAN: No
Enable IPv6 Firewall: Yes
Enable URL Filter: No
Enable Keyword Filter: No
Enable Network Services Filter: No

Code:
maven@PSU-AX56U-CM:/jffs# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        510384     224632     285752       9964       3964      26984
-/+ buffers/cache:     193684     316700
Swap:            0          0          0

Code:
maven@PSU-AX56U-CM:/jffs# uname -r
4.1.52
 
Now the
Code:
mptcp_fallback_infinite
keeps increasing in syslog.
Run
Code:
service restart_wan
did not clear it.
Should I reboot the router to have a try?
