- This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking

- events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up.
-
- Userspace can request "reliable event mode". When this mode is

- 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.
