i recall a switch vendor that used overflow condition to trim timeouts
lower, but this is different from a hard, low limit by configuration.

best regards,

P.S. flow tracking systems always make me point at c++ & scapy

their raw take and analytics. most efficient state representation of
TCP behavior in memory? it's a fun challenge :P
