The signals understood are:
-<UL>
-<LI>SIGHUP - Reload the config from disk and re-open log file<P></LI>
-<LI>SIGTERM / SIGINT - Shut down for a restart. This will dump the current
-state to disk (if <EM>save_state</EM> is set to true). Upon restart, the
-process will read this saved state to resume active sessions.<P>
-<LI>SIGQUIT - Shut down cleanly. This will send a disconnect message for
-every active session and tunnel before shutting down. This is a good idea
-when upgrading the code, as no sessions will be left with the remote end
-thinking they are open.</LI>

+Fragmentation of encapsulated return packets to the LAC may be avoided
+for TCP sessions by adding a firewall rule to clamps the MSS on
+outgoing SYN packets.
