- 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.
TODO: udp6, and sendto consideration. as pmtud is mandatory for IPv6,
it is rather important for us to support those cases.
TODO: more testing
TODO: kame sync
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.
code, from netbsd-current repository.
#ifdef'ed version is always available from ftp.kame.net.
XXX please do not make too many diff-unfriendly changes, we'll need to take
bunch of diffs on upgrade...
due to massive changes in KAME side.
- IPv6 output goes through nd6_output
- faith can capture IPv4 packets as well - you can run IPv4-to-IPv6 translator
using heavily modified DNS servers
- per-interface statistics (required for IPv6 MIB)
- interface autoconfig is revisited
- udp input handling has a big change for mapped address support.
- introduce in4_cksum() for non-overwriting checksumming
- introduce m_pulldown()
- neighbor discovery cleanups/improvements
- netinet/in.h strictly conforms to RFC2553 (no extra defs visible to userland)
- IFA_STATS is fixed a bit (not tested)
- and more more more.
TODO:
- cleanup os-independency #ifdef
- avoid rcvif dual use (for IPsec) to help ifdetach
(sorry for jumbo commit, I can't separate this any more...)
