Well, for TCP connections, this looks relevant (include/net/tcp.h:26):
/* This is for all connections with a full identity, no wildcards.
* New scheme, half the table is for TIME_WAIT, the other half is
* for the rest. I'll experiment with dynamic table growth later.
*/
#define TCP_HTABLE_SIZE 512
so I'd have thought you ought to get 256.
