Subject:   deleting cloned routes 
Message-ID:  <20000706192402.A25086@yahoo-inc.com>

One of the issues during a syn flood is that the routing table
fills up easily because of the cloned routes being generated.

In Freebsd current, an incomplete connection is randomly dropped 
when the listen queue overflows. This logic could be easily extended
by deleting the cloned route that is associated with the connection
being dropped , if there is no information cached for that route.

Is this a reasonable fix ?
