Use-cases for PerSourceMaxStartups and PerSourceNetBlockSize
Hello, I notice PerSourceMaxStartups and PerSourceNetBlockSize in 8.5 supplementing MaxStartups. What kind of use-cases were in mind for PerSourceMaxStartups and PerSourceNetBlockSize? I've only seen distributed attacks in recent years so they must have some other intention. /Lars

"The office with all the developers behind a /29, all opening SSH connections to a git server? Give that /29 MUCH higher limits. The rest of the world? Not so much." -Phil
