the purpose of this code appears to be on crack -- it's talking about
end-to-end authentication, but the purpose of an AH tunnel is NOT end-to-end
authentication; it's authentication of the tunnel endpoints.
NB: This does not fix the fact that IPsec leaks "packet tags."
configured with ``options FAST_IPSEC''. Kernels with KAME IPsec or
with no IPsec should work as before.
All calls to ip_output() now always pass an additional compulsory
argument: the inpcb associated with the packet being sent,
or 0 if no inpcb is available.
Fast-ipsec tested with ICMP or UDP over ESP. TCP doesn't work, yet.
manner as the ifaddr hash table. By doing this, the mkludge code can go
away. At the same time, keep track of what pcbs are using what ifaddr and
when an address is deleted from an interface, notify/abort all sockets
that have that address as a source. Switch IGMP and multicasts to use pools
for allocation. Fix a number of potential problems in the igmp code where
allocation failures could cause a trap/panic.
Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.

IP_HDRINCL behavior of raw ip socket is kept unchanged. we may want to
provide IP_HDRINCL variant that does not swap endian.
as necessary:
* Implement a new mbuf utility routine, m_copyup(), is is like
m_pullup(), except that it always prepends and copies, rather
than only doing so if the desired length is larger than m->m_len.
m_copyup() also allows an offset into the destination mbuf, which
allows space for packet headers, in the forwarding case.
* Add *_HDR_ALIGNED_P() macros for IP, IPv6, ICMP, and IGMP. These
macros expand to 1 if __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT is defined, so that
architectures which do not have strict alignment constraints don't
pay for the test or visit the new align-if-needed path.
* Use the new macros to check if a header needs to be aligned, or to
assert that it already is, as appropriate.
Note: This code is still somewhat experimental. However, the new
code path won't be visited if individual device drivers continue
to guarantee that packets are delivered to layer 3 already properly
aligned (which are rules that are already in use).
benefit currently). Rework tcp_reass code to optimize the 4 most likely causes
of out-of-order packets: first OoO pkt, next OoO pkt in seq, OoO pkt is part
of new chuck of OoO packets, and the OoO pkt fills the first hole. Add evcnts
to instrument tcp_reass (enabled by the options TCP_REASS_COUNTERS). This is
part 1/2 of tcp_reass changes.
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.

Don't copy ttl from the inner packet to the encapsulating packet. Make
the outer ttl sysctl'able. This should close PR 14269 from Jasper Wallace
(change partly from there) and it makes traceroute work over gre tunnels.
Add capabilities bits that indicate an interface can only perform
in-bound TCPv4 or UDPv4 checksums. There is at least one Gig-E chip
for which this is true (Level One LXT-1001), and this is also the
case for the Intel i82559 10/100 Ethernet chips.
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.
