37  * CRC attack detection has a worst-case behaviour that is O(N^3) over
38  * the number of identical blocks in a packet. This behaviour can be
39  * exploited to create a limited denial of service attack.
40  *
41  * However, because we are dealing with encrypted data, identical
42  * blocks should only occur every 2^35 maximally-sized packets or so.
43  * Consequently, we can detect this DoS by looking for identical blocks
44  * in a packet.
45  *
46  * The parameter below determines how many identical blocks we will
47  * accept in a single packet, trading off between attack detection and
48  * likelihood of terminating a legitimate connection. A value of 32
49  * corresponds to an average of 2^40 messages before an attack is
50  * misdetected
