Great.

as of today, only ftp and IRC is implemented in the vanilla tree. POM
may have connection tracking for other protocols.
A protocol that requests something and then receives an answer is
handled by basic connection tracking (Which is why you dont need
connection tracking modules for e.g. http and pop, since no new
connection are established). It is the RELATED packets that are hard to
find.
