Revisiting this: Actually, you are in control of the expectation time too, so you can set a larger one given this is bound by the master conntrack if you don't want to cook a patch to update this. The question here is what are the reasonable timeouts to set, I guess you can extract this from this application protocol behaviour or any standard that document it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
