     *
     * @brief SSLIOP-specific accept strategy that builds on the
     *        TAO_Accept_Strategy implementation.
     *
     * This accept strategy builds on on the TAO_Accept_Strategy
     * implementation.  It sub-classes that class, and overrides the
     * accept_svc_handler() method so that a timeout value may be
     * passed to the underlying peer acceptor.  This is necessary to
     * defend against a simple Denial-of-Service attack.
     * @par
     * Since SSL requires two handshakes, one TCP and one SSL, it is
     * possible for a malicious client to establish a TCP connection
     * to the SSL port, and never complete the SSL handshake.  The
     * underlying SSL passive connection code would block/hang waiting
     * for the SSL handshake to complete.  Given enough incomplete
     * connections where only the TCP handshake is completed, a server
     * process could potentially run out of available file
     * descriptors, thus preventing legitimate client connections from
     * being established.
     * @par.
     * The timeout defense alluded to above bounds the time this sort of
     * DoS attack lasts.
