/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_generic_timeout I presume.

That's much too long for the default setting of a timeout. AFAIK the heartbeat 
client must send keepalive packets every 300 seconds so the tunnel and 
connection tracking timeouts may influence each other.

Why do you want to conntrack proto-41 packets at all? If you're worried about 
security, filter the IPv6 traffic using ip6tables.
