+is intended to replace the old @file{/proc/net/ip_conntrack} interface.  Using
+conntrack, you can view and manage the in-kernel connection tracking state
+table from userspace.  On the other hand, conntrackd covers the specific
+aspects of stateful firewalls to enable highly available scenarios, and can be
+used as statistics collector as well.
+
+Since 1.2.0, the conntrack-tools includes the @command{nfct} command line
+utility.  This utility only supports the nfnetlink_cttimeout by now.  In the
+long run, we expect that it will replace conntrack by providing a syntax
+similar to nftables.")
