Revisiting this: Actually, you are in control of the expectation time
too, so you can set a larger one given this is bound by the master
conntrack if you don't want to cook a patch to update this.
The question here is what are the reasonable timeouts to set, I guess
you can extract this from this application protocol behaviour or any
standard that document it.
