[Soekris] VPN1401 - Number of sessions

[Mike Tancsa]

It is OS dependent.  On FreeBSD, 64 is the limit.  I *think* OpenBSD does 
things a little different, but you are best asking on that list for details 
/ confirmation.

On the older series it was more

hifn0 mem 0xe9802000-0xe9802fff,0xe9801000-0xe9801fff irq 10 at device 0.0 
on pci1
hifn0: Hifn 7951, rev 0, 128KB sram, 193 sessions

vs

hifn0 mem 0xe8510000-0xe8517fff,0xe8518000-0xe8519fff,0xe851a000-0xe851afff 
irq 5 at device 0.0 on pci1
hifn0: Hifn 7955, rev 0, 32KB dram, 64 sessions
