Hello! I have Snort 3.1.81.0 installed on ubuntu 22.04. I wanted to ask about the following item:

stream.tcp_cache.idle_timeout = 3600: maximum inactive time before retiring session tracker

I'm not understanding why this number is so large by default (3600), as it keeps sessions held and releases them one hour later. This causes it to consume 100% of the RAM. If I lower it to 180 (like UDP), it works normally. Do you have any idea why it has such a high default value? I'm behind a firewall, so it could leave sessions unanswered.

Thank you very much, and greetings to all.

Sorry for my writing.
