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.
(Sorry for a big commit, I can't separate this into several pieces...)
Pls check sys/netinet6/TODO and sys/netinet6/IMPLEMENTATION for details.
- sys/kern: do not assume single mbuf, accept chained mbuf on passing
data from userland to kernel (or other way round).
- "midway" ATM card: ATM PVC pseudo device support, like those done in ALTQ
package (ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/).
- sys/netinet/tcp*: IPv4/v6 dual stack tcp support.
- sys/netinet/{ip6,icmp6}.h, sys/net/pfkeyv2.h: IETF document assumes those
file to be there so we patch it up.
- sys/netinet: IPsec additions are here and there.
- sys/netinet6/*: most of IPv6 code sits here.
- sys/netkey: IPsec key management code
- dev/pci/pcidevs: regen
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.
(The default value is nonzero, which preserves the current behavior).
This can be set using sysctl; the boot-time default can also be
configured using the HOSTZEROBROADCAST kernel config option.
While we're here, defopt HOSTZEROBROADCAST and SUBNETSARELOCAL

Disabled by default, enabled by compiling the kernel with option
IFA_STATS. Enabling this feature seems to make the ip_output function
take 13% longer than before, which should be OK for people that need
this feature.
flow, by setting the "can fast forward" flag in the packet header, and
giving a chance for filters to clear the flag. If the flag is still
set after the filters have given it a chance, the packet will be used
to create a fast-forward flow entry.
if_fddisubr.c to fastpath IP forwarding. If ip_forward successfully
forwards a packet, it will create a cache (ipflow) entry. ether_input
and fddi_input will first call ipflow_fastforward with the received
packet and if the packet passes enough tests, it will be forwarded (the
ttl is decremented and the cksum is adjusted incrementally).
change pfil_add_hook to put output filters at the tail of the queue,
while continuing to place input filters at the head of the queue. update
the two users of these functions, and document these changes.
fixes PR#4593.
* support sysctl net.inet.ip.anonportmin (lowest ephemeral port)
and net.inet.ip.anonportmax (highest ephemeral port).
these can't be set to >65535, < IPPORT_RESERVED (unless IPNOPRIVPORTS
is defined), and anonportmin has to be < anonportmax.
* use a cleaner way of only cycling through the available set once;
this will be useful for when a random allocation scheme is used
* define IPPORT_ANON{MIN,MAX} instead of IPPORT_USER{LOW,HIGH}
use of mbuf external storage and increasing performance (by eliminating
an m_pullup() for clusters in the IP reassembly code).

routed packets. This currently defaults to `drop,' but once we
verify that all applications that rely on determining remote IP
addresses for authentication are dropping the connection when they
see a source route option (not just disabling the source route
option), we can turn this back on and conform with the host
requirements.
