+Netfilter Conntrack Sysfs variables
+===================================
+
+/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_* Variables:
+=================================================
+
+nf_conntrack_acct - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled (default)
+ - not 0 - enabled
+
+ Enable connection tracking flow accounting. 64-bit byte and packet
+ counters per flow are added.
+
+nf_conntrack_buckets - INTEGER
+ Size of hash table. If not specified as parameter during module
+ loading, the default size is calculated by dividing total memory
+ by 16384 to determine the number of buckets but the hash table will
+ never have fewer than 32 and limited to 16384 buckets. For systems
+ with more than 4GB of memory it will be 65536 buckets.
+ This sysctl is only writeable in the initial net namespace.
+
+nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled
+ - not 0 - enabled (default)
+
+ Verify checksum of incoming packets. Packets with bad checksums are
+ in INVALID state. If this is enabled, such packets will not be
+ considered for connection tracking.
+
+nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only)
+ Number of currently allocated flow entries.
+
+nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled
+ - not 0 - enabled (default)
+
+ If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
+ provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
+
+nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
+ Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
+ nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
+
+nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
+ default 262144
+
+ Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When
+ nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this
+ purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until
+ nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached.
+
+nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
+ default 196608
+
+ See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
+
+nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 60
+
+ Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory.
+
+nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 600
+
+ Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported
+ protocols.
+
+nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled (default)
+ - not 0 - enabled
+
+ Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
+ If disabled it is required to set up iptables rules to assign
+ helpers to connections. See the CT target description in the
+ iptables-extensions(8) man page for further information.
+
+nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 30
+
+ Default for ICMP timeout.
+
+nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 30
+
+ Default for ICMP6 timeout.
+
+nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER
+ - 0 - disable (default)
+ - 1 - log ICMP packets
+ - 6 - log TCP packets
+ - 17 - log UDP packets
+ - 33 - log DCCP packets
+ - 41 - log ICMPv6 packets
+ - 136 - log UDPLITE packets
+ - 255 - log packets of any protocol
+
+ Log invalid packets of a type specified by value.
+
+nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER
+ Size of connection tracking table. Default value is
+ nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4.
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled (default)
+ - not 0 - enabled
+
+ Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.
+ If it's non-zero, we mark only out of window RST segments as INVALID.
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled
+ - not 0 - enabled (default)
+
+ If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established
+ connections.
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER
+ default 3
+
+ Maximum number of packets that can be retransmitted without
+ received an (acceptable) ACK from the destination. If this number
+ is reached, a shorter timer will be started.
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 10
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 60
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 432000 (5 days)
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_fin_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 120
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_last_ack - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 30
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_max_retrans - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 300
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 60
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 120
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 120
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_unacknowledged - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 300
+
+nf_conntrack_timestamp - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled (default)
+ - not 0 - enabled
+
+ Enable connection tracking flow timestamping.
+
+nf_conntrack_udp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 30
+
+nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 120
+
+ This extended timeout will be used in case there is an UDP stream
+ detected.
+
+nf_conntrack_gre_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 30
+
+nf_conntrack_gre_timeout_stream - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 180
+
+ This extended timeout will be used in case there is an GRE stream
+ detected.
