hi there,

reading about the recent apache timeout DoS (ha.ckers.org/)
i had look at the default pf timeouts.  i have two questions.

where does the number for
tcp.established           86400s
come from?  what is the rationale behind
a 24h timout for estabilished tcp connections?
just curious, i have no idea what a better
number could be if there is one.

and this fella
tcp.tsdiff                   30s
i can't find anything about this in pf.conf(5)
