 The Connections section contains some limited conntrack configuration settings. //Conntrack //is a Linux utility that provides an interface to the //netfilter //connection tracking system. It tracks connections, and is used to know how the packets that pass through the system are related to their connections.
-Generally, conntrack is used to search, list, inspect and maintain the Linux kernel's connection tracking. Conntrack does NOT manipulate packets, and works independently of NAT functions.\\   \\   \\ **Maximum Connections**: The maximum number of sessions handled by the router: ("/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max").

-**TCP/UDP Buffers**: This defines the number of TCP/UDP buffers allowed (to/from the router). This setting needs to be tweaked carefully. A large buffer will facilitate higher throughput, but too large a buffer might create //bufferbloat. //Bloated buffers lead to network-crippling latency spikes.
