33  * CRC attack detection has a worst-case behaviour that is O(N^3) over
34  * the number of identical blocks in a packet. This behaviour can be
35  * exploited to create a limited denial of service attack.
36  *
37  * However, because we are dealing with encrypted data, identical
38  * blocks should only occur every 2^35 maximally-sized packets or so.
39  * Consequently, we can detect this DoS by looking for identical blocks
40  * in a packet.
41  *
42  * The parameter below determines how many identical blocks we will
43  * accept in a single packet, trading off between attack detection and
44  * likelihood of terminating a legitimate connection. A value of 32
45  * corresponds to an average of 2^40 messages before an attack is
46  * misdetected
