Bug Description

With DVR, connections to external network using floating ips flow through the router namespace into the fip namespace and then to the external network. These connections are tracked in router namespace for filter and nating purpose. Currently these connections are also being tracked in the fip namespace because tracking is turned on by default. To avoid unnecessary consumption of resources tracking of such connections should be turned off in fip namespace.

This should be an easy fix. This could be a scaling problem if it is not fixed.

    Stop tracking connections in DVR FIP Namespace

    For DVR, connections to external network using floating IPs do not
    need to be tracked in FIP namespace because they are being
    already tracked in router namespace.
    This fix adds iptable rules to not track connections.
