"The mapping of IP Class D addresses to local addresses is
currently specified for the following types of networks:
[...]
o Any network that supports broadcast but not multicast,
addressing: all IP Class D addresses map to the local
broadcast address."
* Fix radio error-message parsing bug: old comparison against error
prefix string off by the size of the Starmode link-level protocol field.
* Fix radio reset finite state machine, given that parsing works properly.
* Add debugging messages about reset FSM if IFF_DEBUG is set.
* Remove #ifdefs notdef around back the check that discards newlines at
the beginning of a frame. Every error message from the radio has a newline,
as the radio send error messages terminated by \r\n, not just \r like data
frames. Not dropping the \n garbles the following data frame.
* Remove unused low-level debugging routines.
* Reformat the low-level bytestuff/RLL code to match the canonical source.
* Reduce MTU to 1100 bytes; 1200 bytes can overflow the radio buffers if the
bytestuff/RLL does poorly.
* Fix radio-probe string to _not_ include a frame delimiter (\r): sending
a \r to the radio tickles a bug in the firmware, causing the radio to
smash the next frame sent after the "**\r" probe string.
* Add calls to the tty t_oproc routine to make sure the probe and reset
strings get sent to the modem promptly, rather than waiting for the next
packet.
* Add PPP-style calls to the tty start-output function; seems to
reduce latency marginally.
still to do:
* Flush output queue if resetting, since the radio is going to drop
frames on the floor anyway if it needs resetting.
* Reduce tty start-output calls.
somehow got lost between NetBSD and Linux. Output side mbuf-walking
code now correctly bytestuffs mbuf chains, as well as single mbufs
and clusters.
* Update radio error-parsing code to Stuart's latest stable code.
We now parse error messages the older code didn't.
* Note where radio-crash watchdogs should be added (the linux code
is there, #ifdef'ed out). This still just doesn't work.
The radio reset doesn't always work even when slattatch is first started,
but I have a radio with old firmware, which may be a contributing factor.
* Correct the checks for the tty output queue being overfull; estimate
the stuffed pkt size as (original * 65/64) + STRIP_HDRLEN + 2,
instead of SLIP's (2*SLMTU). Re-enable the disabled check now the
size estimate isn't excessively large.
* Fix BPF tapping of strip interfaces, STRIP packets are wrapped
in a SLIP bpf header. This implies no BPF support for arp or atalk,
even though Linux boxes are sending arp requests and gratuitous arps.
There may be no good fix short of adding explicit STRIP encapsulation
support to bpf/tcpdump.
* Still need a solid walkthrough, and rewrite to eliminate redundant
receive-side mbuf copying.
- ability to be either a BROADCAST or POINTTOPOINT interface.
- a humble beginning of link-layer addressing (differs from PR
by using a `struct sockaddr' instead of single byte).
#define so that ifr_mtu accesses that. MTU shouldn't be overloaded
with ifr_metric, if only for clarity. Adding an MTU field to the
union hurts nothing (in fact, does not actually _change_ generated
code), and does improve clarity.
Unimplement PRU_ABORT, as it's not needed and wasn't correct.
Some stylistic cleanup.
Make sure the control mbufs are freed in all cases.
We must indirect through the higher-level protocol for
PRU_{BIND,CONNECT} so that it can check the sockaddr.
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_reset)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
sizeof(struct bpf_hdr). On machines that we currently support that
can use the old definition (which just covers the size of the data in
struct bpf_hdr), use it even though it's a hack. (This was changed
for the 'new architectures' case so as to be fail-safe; BPF may
waste a few bytes of space per captured packet on new architectures,
but now at least it's more likely to work.)
trivial multicast support, and support for xon/xoff output flow
control to the PPP subsystem. Fixed several bugs, including making
the accumulation and resetting of statistics more consistent. State
for the VJ compressor is now dynamically allocated.
