- introduce a limit for the routes accepted via IPv6 Router Advertisement:
a common 2 interface client will have 6, the default limit is 100 and
can be adjusted via sysctl
- report the current number of routes installed via RA via sysctl
- count discarded route additions. Note that one RA message is two routes.
This is at present only across all interfaces even though per-interface
would be more useful, since the per-interface structure complies to RFC2466
- bump kernel version due to the previous change
- adjust netstat to use the new value (with netstat -p icmp6)
Add a flag ND6_IFF_OVERRIDE_RTADV that tells the kernel to override
ip6_accept_rtadv (net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv) on an interface.
Add a routine nd6_accepts_rtadv(ndi) that evaluates both the flags
on the interface represented by ndi and ip6_accept_rtadv, and
returns 'true' if the given interface should accept Router
Advertisements, and 'false' if not.
Now, ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV works as it was historically documented:
if it is set, then accept router advertisements iff ip6_accept_rtadv
!= 0. Otherwise, do not accept router advertisements.
If ND6_IFF_OVERRIDE_RTADV is set, then the flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV
overrides ip6_accept_rtadv: if ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV is set, accept;
otherwise reject. Ignore ip6_accept_rtadv.
If neither ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV nor ND6_IFF_OVERRIDE_RTADV is set,
reject Router Advertisements.
make net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv the default for individual per-device
settings so people can use the ndp(8) utility to set per-device whether
or not to accept route advertisements.
rtadvd changes to follow.
(Debated on tech-net@ before but almost two weeks passed by without any
comment on the patch.)
to _ro_rt. Use rtcache_getrt() to access a route cache's struct
rtentry *.
Introduce struct ifnet->if_dl that always points at the interface
identifier/link-layer address. Make code that treated the first
ifaddr on struct ifnet->if_addrlist as the interface address use
if_dl, instead.
Remove stale debugging code from net/route.c. Move the rtflush()
code into rtcache_clear() and delete rtflush(). Delete rtalloc(),
because nothing uses it any more.
Make ND6_HINT an inline, lowercase subroutine, nd6_hint.
I've done my best to convert IP Filter, the ISO stack, and the
AppleTalk stack to rtcache_getrt(). They compile, but I have not
tested them. I have given the changes to PF, GRE, IPv4 and IPv6
stacks a lot of exercise.
from the forwarding table's users:
Introduce rt_walktree() for walking the routing table and
applying a function to each rtentry. Replace most
rn_walktree() calls with it.
Use rt_getkey()/rt_setkey() to get/set a route's destination.
Keep a pointer to the sockaddr key in the rtentry, so that
rtentry users do not have to grovel in the radix_node for
the key.
Add a RTM_GET method to rtrequest. Use that instead of
radix_node lookups in, e.g., carp(4).
Add sys/net/link_proto.c, which supplies sockaddr routines for
link-layer socket addresses (sockaddr_dl).
Cosmetic:
Constify. KNF. Stop open-coding LIST_FOREACH, TAILQ_FOREACH,
et cetera. Use NULL instead of 0 for null pointers. Use
__arraycount(). Reduce gratuitous parenthesization.
Stop using variadic arguments for rip6_output(), it is
unnecessary.
Remove the unnecessary rtentry member rt_genmask and the
code to maintain it, since nothing actually used it.
Make rt_maskedcopy() easier to read by using meaningful variable
names.
Extract a subroutine intern_netmask() for looking up a netmask in
the masks table.
Start converting backslash-ridden IPv6 macros in
sys/netinet6/in6_var.h into inline subroutines that one
can read without special eyeglasses.
One functional change: when the kernel serves an RTM_GET, RTM_LOCK,
or RTM_CHANGE request, it applies the netmask (if supplied) to a
destination before searching for it in the forwarding table.
I have changed sys/netinet/ip_carp.c, carp_setroute(), to remove
the unlawful radix_node knowledge.
Apart from the changes to carp(4), netiso, ATM, and strip(4), I
have run the changes on three nodes in my wireless routing testbed,
which involves IPv4 + IPv6 dynamic routing acrobatics, and it's
working beautifully so far.
Use the usual idiom for iterating over a list where we might
_REMOVE() entries,
for (x = TAILQ_FIRST(...); x != NULL; x = nx) {
nx = TAILQ_NEXT(x, ...);
...
}
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

value. Previously the router should treat the recieved router
advertisement as having a 0 router lifetime. The RFC now says that the
router should treat the "Reserved" field the same way as if it was the
medium (default) preference.

RFC4191
- supports host-side router-preference
RFC3542
- if DAD fails on a interface, disables IPv6 operation on the
interface
- don't advertise MLD report before DAD finishes
Others
- fixes integer overflow for valid and preferred lifetimes
- improves timer granularity for MLD, using callout-timer.
- reflects rtadvd's IPv6 host variable information into kernel
(router only)
- adds a sysctl option to enable/disable pMTUd for multicast
packets
- performs NUD on PPP/GRE interface by default
- Redirect works regardless of ip6_accept_rtadv
- removes RFC1885-related code

- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.
- and, while there, don't try to remove the ff02::/32 interface route
entry in in6_ifdetach() as it's already gone.
This also includes some level of support for the standard source
address selection algorithm defined in RFC3484, which will be
completed on in the future.

to check if interface exists, as (1) if_index has different meaning
(2) ifindex2ifnet could become NULL when interface gets destroyed,
since when we have introduced dynamically-created interfaces. from kame
could be NULL. This is not a common case, but as nd6_rtmsg()
will be called during if_detach(), we need to check for the
case. reported by kanaoka-san.
behavior changes:
- two iocts used by ndp(8) are now obsolete (backward compat provided).
use sysctl path instead.
- lo0 does not get ::1 automatically. it will get ::1 when lo0 comes up.
