No, I'm afraid it does not help ;). A conntrack entry is at least 192
bytes. If I have 800kpps traffic flow and 5000 rules, even Herve's
tuning tips are not helping anymore. I've seen some improvements
regarding RCU conversion lately and I definitely need to redo my tests
with a recent 2.6.x kernel, however I have little hope regarding
throughput with ip_conntrack.
