Hi All,

Today we create a connection tracking entry for every
new packet that we see, whether valid, invalid or
even for one that will be dropped in future by filter.

Is there an advantage in this design approach?
Does it make sense not to create these entries so that
an intruder is not able to bog down the system by
just sending new connections which may not be allowed 
altogether but end up causing new resources to be 
allocated.

Could someone enlighten me please?

Regards
