Hello!
I'll guess the setting was very much affected by DoS attacs discussion which
indicated very different flowlenths compared to our actual measurement for
Uppsala University which had 65 pkts per new DST entry. Proably due to the
"new" applications and lots of students.
For autotuning I think we can have help from a ratio of warm cache hits
(in_hit)
and misses (in_slow_tot) to set threshhold to trim hash chain lengths.
Cheers.
