network interfaces. This works by pre-computing the pseudo-header
checksum and caching it, delaying the actual checksum to ip_output()
if the hardware cannot perform the sum for us. In-bound checksums
can either be fully-checked by hardware, or summed up for final
verification by software. This method was modeled after how this
is done in FreeBSD, although the code is significantly different in
most places.
We don't delay checksums for IPv6/TCP, but we do take advantage of the
cached pseudo-header checksum.
Note: hardware-assisted checksumming defaults to "off". It is
enabled with ifconfig(8). See the manual page for details.
Implement hardware-assisted checksumming on the DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet,
3c90xB/3c90xC 10/100 Ethernet, and Alteon Tigon/Tigon2 Gigabit Ethernet.
"lots of fragmented packets" DoS attack.
the current default value is derived from ipv6 counterpart, which is
a magical value "200". it should be enough for normal systems, not sure
if it is enough when you take hundreds of thousands of tcp connections on
your system. if you have proposal for a better value with concrete reasons,
let me know.
- let ipfilter look at wire-format packet only (not the decapsulated ones),
so that VPN setting can work with NAT/ipfilter settings.

TODO: use header history for stricter inbound validation
"key" and a "dlt", use a "type" (PFIL_TYPE_{AF,IFNET} for now) and
a val/ptr appropriate for that type. This allows for more future
flexibility with the pfil_hook mechanism.
- All packets are passed to PFIL_HOOKS as they come off the wire, i.e.
fields in protocol headers in network order, etc.
- Allow for multiple hooks to be registered, using a "key" and a "dlt".
The "dlt" is a BPF data link type, indicating what type of header is
present.
- INET and INET6 register with key == AF_INET or AF_INET6, and
dlt == DLT_RAW.
- PFIL_HOOKS now take an argument for the filter hook, and mbuf **,
an ifnet *, and a direction (PFIL_IN or PFIL_OUT), thus making them
less IP (really, IP Filter) centric.
Maintain compatibility with IP Filter by adding wrapper functions for
IP Filter.

Fix from: ho@crt.se
itojun was notified from: theo
between protocol handlers.
ipsec socket pointers, ipsec decryption/auth information, tunnel
decapsulation information are in my mind - there can be several other usage.
at this moment, we use this for ipsec socket pointer passing. this will
avoid reuse of m->m_pkthdr.rcvif in ipsec code.
due to the change, MHLEN will be decreased by sizeof(void *) - for example,
for i386, MHLEN was 100 bytes, but is now 96 bytes.
we may want to increase MSIZE from 128 to 256 for some of our architectures.
take caution if you use it for keeping some data item for long period
of time - use extra caution on M_PREPEND() or m_adj(), as they may result
in loss of m->m_pkthdr.aux pointer (and mbuf leak).
this will bump kernel version.
(as discussed in tech-net, tested in kame tree)
pfil information, instead, struct protosw now contains a structure
which caontains list heads, etc. The per-protosw pfil struct is passed
to pfil_hook_get(), along with an in/out flag to get the head of the
relevant filter list. This has been done for only IPv4 and IPv6, at
present, with these patches only enabling filtering for IPPROTO_IP and
IPPROTO_IPV6, although it is possible to have tcp/udp, etc, dedicated
filters now also. The ipfilter code has been updated to only filter
IPv4 packets - next major release of ipfilter is required for ipv6.

XXX m->m_pkthdr.rcvif is still overloaded - hope to fix it soon
Avoid forwarding ip unicast packets which were contained inside
link-level multicast packets; having M_MCAST still set in the packet
header flags will mean that the packet will get multicast to a bogus
group instead of unicast to the next hop.
Malformed packets like this have occasionally been spotted "in the
wild" on a mediaone cable modem segment which also had multiple netbsd
machines running as router/NAT boxes.
Without this, any subnet with multiple netbsd routers receiving all
multicasts will generate a packet storm on receipt of such a
multicast. Note that we already do the same check here for link-level
broadcasts; ip6_forward already does this as well.
Note that multicast forwarding does not go through ip_forward().
Adding some code to if_ethersubr to sanity check link-level
vs. ip-level multicast addresses might also be worthwhile.

In my understanding no code here is subject to export control so it
should be safe.
address zero of each net/subnet is a broadcast address.

This can be set using sysctl; the boot-time default can also be
configured using the HOSTZEROBROADCAST kernel config option.
