73 >        global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
74 >        queues into a per-VNET limit.  Because mbufs are allocated from a
75 >        global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
76 >        total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
77 >        total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
78 >        traffic would cease.

87 >        OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
