[OpenAFS-devel] [LKML] Re: In-kernel Authentication Tokens (PAGs)

[David Thompson]

Because the current implementation doesn't know what PAGs currently exist, it 
enforces uniqueness by incrementing an internal counter.  Then, to insure that 
the counter didn't overflow, (and thus re-issue a PAG) the code limits the 
increment (and the rate of new PAGs) to one per second.

There's much better documentation in .../src/afs/afs_osi_pag.c
