+/**
+ * @brief Receives packets from the socket and adds them to the job queue.
+ * 
+ * The receiver starts a thread, wich reads on the blocking socket. A received
+ * packet is preparsed and a process_message_job is queued in the job queue.
+ *
+ * To endure DoS attacks, cookies are enabled when to many IKE_SAs are half
+ * open. The calculation of cookies is slightly different from the proposed
+ * method in RFC4306. We do not include a nonce, because we think the advantage
+ * we gain does not justify the overhead to parse the whole message.
+ * Instead of VersionIdOfSecret, we include a timestamp. This allows us to
+ * find out wich key was used for cookie creation. Further, we can set a
+ * lifetime for the cookie, which allows us to reuse the secret for a longer
+ * time.
+ *         COOKIE = time | sha1( IPi | SPIi | time | secret )
+ *
+ * The secret is changed after a certain amount of cookies sent. The old
+ * secret is stored to allow a clean migration between secret changes.
+ * 
+ * Further, the number of half-initiated IKE_SAs is limited per peer. This
+ * mades it impossible for a peer to flood the server with its real IP address.
+ *
