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).

and #3480, with ever-so-slight integration changes by me.
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.
interface using a sockaddr_dl in a control mbuf.
Implement SO_TIMESTAMP for IP datagrams.
Move packet information option processing into a generic function
so that they work with multicast UDP and raw IP as well as unicast UDP.

This change is slightly different than the one submitted by Darren in
that the DIRECTED_BROADCAST compile-time option will behave like it used
to so that existing configurations utilizing it won't have to change.
