 Note: hba is useful only when a stream is shared with another application.  When hba is enabled packets will be dropped
 (i.e. not delivered to suricata) when the host-buffer utilization reaches the high-water mark indicated by the hba value.
 This insures that, should suricata get behind in it's packet processing, the other application will still receive all
 of the packets.  If this is enabled without another application sharing the stream it will result in sub-optimal packet
 buffering.
