31	  Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
32	  through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
33	  into connections.
34
35	  This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
36	  Address Translation.  It can also be used to enhance packet

48
49	  Those counters can be used for flow-based accounting or the
50	  `connbytes' match.
51
52	  Please note that currently this option only sets a default state.
53	  You may change it at boot time with nf_conntrack.acct=0/1 kernel
54	  paramater or by loading the nf_conntrack module with acct=0/1.

191	  There is a commonly-used extension to IRC called
192	  Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC).  This enables users to send
193	  files to each other, and also chat to each other without the need
194	  of a server.  DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
195	  and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots.  If you are
196	  using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
197	  chats.  Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or
198	  have others initiate chats, or everything else in IRC.

206	help
207	  NetBIOS name service requests are sent as broadcast messages from an
208	  unprivileged port and responded to with unicast messages to the
209	  same port. This make them hard to firewall properly because connection
210	  tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
211	  originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
212	  responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
213	  netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
214	  of "ip address show" should look similar to this:
215
216	  $ ip -4 address show eth0
217	  4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

229	  Protocol, RFC2637) connection tracking and NAT.
230
231	  If you are running PPTP sessions over a stateful firewall or NAT
232	  box, you may want to enable this feature.
233
234	  Please note that not all PPTP modes of operation are supported yet.
235	  Specifically these limitations exist:
236	    - Blindly assumes that control connections are always established
237	      in PNS->PAC direction. This is a violation of RFC2637.
238	    - Only supports a single call within each session

262	  modify, and terminate multimedia sessions (conferences) such as
263	  Internet telephony calls. With the ip_conntrack_sip and
264	  the nf_nat_sip modules you can support the protocol on a connection

832	  of limit buckets, based on your selection of source/destination
833	  addresses and/or ports.
