PropertyDescription
max-entries (integer)

Max amount of entries that the connection tracking table can hold. This value depends on the installed amount of RAM.

Note that the system does not create a maximum-size connection tracking table when it starts, it may increase if the situation demands it and the system still has free ram, but size will not exceed 1048576

total-entries (integer)Amount of connections that currently connection table holds.
