 	If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
 	provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
 
-nf_conntrack_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
-	default 15
-
-	This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking
-	events" are used.  Normally, ctnetlink is "lossy", that is,
-	events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up.
-
-	Userspace can request "reliable event mode".  When this mode is
-	active, the conntrack will only be destroyed after the event was
-	delivered.  If event delivery fails, the kernel periodically
-	re-tries to send the event to userspace.
-
-	This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying
-	to deliver the destroy event.
-
-	A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it
-	will take longer for a backlog to be processed.
-
 nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
 	Maximum size of expectation table.  Default value is
 	nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
