Or does it mean that each user will cause a total of 65536 (re)negotiation packets in his lifetime? I think using a conservative estimate is a good idea, but the large difference is somewhat confusing (and I'm not entirely sure I get the correct meaning myself). > this limits the tls\-crypt key lifetime to 8171 year divided 8171 years (just a typo I suppose, but it's significant to the meaning of the sentence). /Magnus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
