 * job queue.
 *
 * To endure DoS attacks, cookies are enabled when too many IKE_SAs are half
 * open. The calculation of cookies is slightly different from the proposed
 * method in RFC4306. We do not include a nonce, because we think the advantage
 * we gain does not justify the overhead to parse the whole message.
 * Instead of VersionIdOfSecret, we include a timestamp. This allows us to
 * find out which key was used for cookie creation. Further, we can set a
 * lifetime for the cookie, which allows us to reuse the secret for a longer
 * time.
 *		 COOKIE = time | sha1( IPi | SPIi | time | secret )
 *
 * The secret is changed after a certain amount of cookies sent. The old
 * secret is stored to allow a clean migration between secret changes.
 *
 * Further, the number of half-initiated IKE_SAs is limited per peer. This
 * makes it impossible for a peer to flood the server with its real IP address.
