/**
* Receives packets from the socket and adds them to the job queue.
*
* The receiver starts a thread, which 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 which 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.
