-
- 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.
