If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
-nf_conntrack_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
- default 15
-
- This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking
- events" are used. Normally, ctnetlink is "lossy", that is,
- events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up.
-
- Userspace can request "reliable event mode". When this mode is
- active, the conntrack will only be destroyed after the event was
- delivered. If event delivery fails, the kernel periodically
- re-tries to send the event to userspace.
-
- This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying
- to deliver the destroy event.
-
- A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it
- will take longer for a backlog to be processed.

nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
