# There are 3 different modes of running conntrackd: "alarm", "notrack" and "ftfw"

# The default package ships with a FTFW configuration, see /usr/share/doc/conntrackd*
# for example configurations for other modes.

		# omission. On the other hand, if you keep this value high,

		# This parameter allows you to set an initial fixed timeout
		# for the committed entries when this node goes from backup
		# to primary. This mechanism provides a way to purge entries
		# that were not recovered appropriately after the specified
		# fixed timeout. If you set a low value, TCP entries in
		# Established states with no traffic may hang. For example,
		# an SSH connection without KeepAlive enabled. If not set,
		# the daemon uses an approximate timeout value calculation
		# mechanism. By default, this option is not set.
		#
		# CommitTimeout 180

		#
		# If the firewall replica goes from primary to backup,
		# the conntrackd -t command is invoked in the script. 
		# This command schedules a flush of the table in N seconds.
		# This is useful to purge the connection tracking table of
		# zombie entries and avoid clashes with old entries if you
		# trigger several consecutive hand-overs. Default is 60 seconds.
		#
		# PurgeTimeout 60

		# Set the acknowledgement window size. If you decrease this
		# value, the number of acknowlegdments increases. More
		# acknowledgments means more overhead as conntrackd has to
		# handle more control messages. On the other hand, if you
		# increase this value, the resend queue gets more populated.
		# This results in more overhead in the queue releasing.
		# The following value is based on some practical experiments
		# measuring the cycles spent by the acknowledgment handling
		# with oprofile. If not set, default window size is 300.

		# This clause allows you to disable the external cache. Thus,

		# but you consume slots in the kernel conntrack table for
		# backup state entries. Moreover, disabling the external cache
		# means more CPU consumption. You need a Linux kernel
		# >= 2.6.29 to use this feature. By default, this clause is
		# set off. If you are installing conntrackd for first time,
		# please read the user manual and I encourage you to consider

	# If the daemon detects that Netlink is dropping state-change events,
	# it automatically schedules a resynchronization against the Kernel
	# after 30 seconds (default value). Resynchronizations are expensive
	# in terms of CPU consumption since the daemon has to get the full
	# kernel state-table and purge state-entries that do not exist anymore.
	# Be careful of setting a very small value here. You have the following
	# choices: On (enabled, use default 30 seconds value), Off (disabled)

	# 
	# By default, the daemon receives state updates following an
	# event-driven model. You can modify this behaviour by switching to
	# polling mode with the PollSecs clause. This clause tells conntrackd
	# to dump the states in the kernel every N seconds. With regards to
	# synchronization mode, the polling mode can only guarantee that
	# long-lifetime states are recovered. The main advantage of this method
	# is the reduction in the state replication at the cost of reducing the
	# chances of recovering connections.
	#
	# PollSecs 15

	#
	# The daemon prioritizes the handling of state-change events coming
	# from the core. With this clause, you can set the maximum number of
	# state-change events (those coming from kernel-space) that the daemon
	# will handle after which it will handle other events coming from the
	# network or userspace. A low value improves interactivity (in terms of
	# real-time behaviour) at the cost of extra CPU consumption.

	# Event filtering: This clause allows you to filter certain traffic,

	# filter-sets in positive or negative logic depending on your needs.
	# You can select if conntrackd filters the event messages from 
	# user-space or kernel-space. The kernel-space event filtering
	# saves some CPU cycles by avoiding the copy of the event message
	# from kernel-space to user-space. The kernel-space event filtering
	# is prefered, however, you require a Linux kernel >= 2.6.29 to
	# filter from kernel-space. If you want to select kernel-space
