Maybe this is what you're looking for?
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max

For the sake of completeness, for my kernel compiled with "Layer 3 independent 
connection tracking" (as it is the default since Linux 2.6.20 IIRC) the 
equivalent is
    /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max
for the maximum number of entries and
    /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_{tcp,udp,icmp,icmpv6,frag6}_timeout*
for the various timeouts.

I doubt that an embedded device runs such a new kernel, but maybe the kernel 
still is compiled with the new connection tracking framework to support 
stateful IPv6 filtering.
