Help text

If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will keep per-flow packet and byte counters.

Those counters can be used for flow-based accounting or the `connbytes' match.

Please note that currently this option only sets a default state. You may change it at boot time with nf_conntrack.acct=0/1 kernel parameter or by loading the nf_conntrack module with acct=0/1.

You may also disable/enable it on a running system with: sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=0/1

This option will be removed in 2.6.29.

If unsure, say `N'.
