So I am trying to use bloomfilter_counting_init for keeping a count of uniq IPs 
seen within a subnet and instead of relying on a table or a set, I was toying 
with an idea of using bloomfilter_counting_init. 

However, I am not clear on the parameterization below:

global bloomfilter_counting_init: function(k: count , cells: count , max: count 
, name: string &default=""): opaque of bloomfilter ;

What should be the length of the cells for storing 65536 IPs ? 

Is k=3 a good value or I need something else ? Could someone elaborate on how 
to decide these parameters. 

I looked at /btest/bifs/bloomfilter.bro but not quite clear.

thanks, 
Aashish
