A lot of TCP: time wait bucket table overflow in CentOS 6

we have the following output from dmesg:
__ratelimit: 33491 callbacks suppressed
TCP: time wait bucket table overflow

Also we have the following setting:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_tw_buckets

We are under some kind of attack, but we could not detect what cause this problem?
