I restored the settings backup after upgrading to 1.0.16

I've just to observe that tcp/ip settings established conntracks, udp, etc are not restored back but remain the defaults: 600, 180 etc

ps: isn't tcp's established conntracks 600sec a little too brief ?

the default kernel setting is 5 days (432000sec) but I reasonably think that 3600 (1 hour) should be more adequate: keeping conntracks too short can cause syn overhead in certain conditions

Really depends on what kind of traffic is going through.

Those connection limits are more for people doing a lot of torrents.

You usually want the connections to close when idle to minimize
the total # of open connections, which will allow for less overhead
on the router.

I think its not too critical if you have a router with 32mb ram.

If you have a router with 16mb ram, you may want lower values.
