Connection tracking number depends on RAM capacity, not CPU.

Should we used conntrack ? Is these conntrack had an issue even on Linux ??

Connection Tracking should be enabled, when you have firewall rules [filter, NAT, mangle].
Do you have any problems with that ?

I suggest you to run 3.7 version on both routers, then compare value.
In case there are any similar problems, contact MikroTik support [support@mikrotik.com].

It's 100% bug. Not sure how many conntracks are supported , but the number really depend of amount of RAM.

In MT case it' s always (I have it starting from 3.3) "Max Entries: 524288" in case if RAM equal or more then 512 MB.
In real life 512MB = 524288KB, exactly what we have.
If we are talking about max contrack then it should be 65536 in case if you have 1Gb and something around 131072 in case of 2G RAM

Like example Linux with 1G Ram show:
ip_conntrack version 2.4 (8192 buckets, 65536 max)
...

No matter how much RAM u have it always shows that max entries: 524288 in ver 3.X. I'm using 3.7 with 1 GB RAM and it's showing the exact max entries.

Looks like this is starting from 3.3.
The question is Does Max Entry mean Max Contrack or it’s just show amount of memory?
Because if Max Entry mean memory , then we have bug that do not show memory more then 512 M (once again 524288 (kb) equal 512M ), But if Max Entry mean Max Contrack then we have completely wrong information.
However I think this is just informational bug , and hope somebody from MT already fix it.
