Taken from the handbook of 4.3-RELEASE, section 6.6


sbsize 

This is the limit on the amount of network memory, and thus mbufs, a user may
consume. This originated as a response to an old DoS attack by creating a lot
of sockets, but can be generally used to limit network communications.


Hope this helps
