autoconfigured host. bug was that, we will lose default route on
"ifconfig gif0 destroy" even if default is not pointing to gif0.
reported by ume@mahoroba.org. sync with kame
now traffic on loopback interface will be presented to bpf as normal wire
format packet (without KAME scopeid in s6_addr16[1]).
fix KAME PR 250 (host mistakenly accepts packets to fe80::x%lo0).
sync with kame.
normal operation (/var can get filled up by flodding bogus packets).
sysctl net.inet6.icmp6.nd6_debug will turn on diagnostic messages.
(#define ND6_DEBUG will turn it on by default)
improve stats in ND6 code.
lots of synchronziation with kame (including comments and cometic ones).
have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes rt_addrinfo * as the argument.
pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest, and ifa->ifa_rtrequest.
3rd arg of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now rt_addrinfo * instead of sockaddr *
(almost noone is using it anyways).
benefit: the follwoing command now works. previously we need two route(8)
invocations, "add" then "change".
# route add -inet6 default ::1 -ifp gif0
remove unsafe typecast in rtrequest(), from rtentry * to sockaddr *. it was
introduced by 4.3BSD-reno and never corrected.
XXX is eon_rtrequest() change correct regarding to 3rd arg?
eon_rtrequest() and rtrequest() were incorrect since 4.3BSD-reno,
so i do not have correct answer in the source code.
someone with more clue about netiso-over-ip, please help.
Current status:
Only OHCI chip is supported (fwohci).
ping (IPv4) works with Sony's implementation (SmartConnect) on Win98.
sometimes works but not stable.
Not implemented yet:
IRM (Isochronous Resource Manager) functionality.
Link layer fragmentation.
Topology map.
More to do:
clean ups
MCAP
charactor device part
dhcp
There is no entry in GENERIC config file yet.
Follow sys/dev/ieee1394/IMPLEMENTATION to enable if_fw.
- add protection mechanism against ND cache corruption due to bad NUD hints.
- more stats
- icmp6 pps limitation. TOOD: should implement ppsratecheck(9).
with "beyondscope" icmp6 support).
"options FAKE_LOOPBACK_IF" will honor scope on loopback outputs. rcvif will
be real interface, not the loopback, just like when multicast loopback.
(sync with kame)
- be persistent on initializing interfaces, even if there's manually-
assigned linklocal, multicast/whatever initialization is necessary.
- do not cache mac addr in the kernel. grab mac addr from existing cards
(this is important when you swap ethernet cards back and forth)
now ppp6 works just fine!
call in6_ifattach() on ATM PVC interface to assign link-local, using
hardware MAC address as seed.
(the change is in sync with kame tree).
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
- remove net.inet6.ip6.nd6_proxyall. introduce proxy NDP code works
just like "arp -s".
- revise source address selection.
be more careful about use of yet-to-be-valid addresses as source.
- as router, transmit ICMP6_DST_UNREACH_BEYONDSCOPE against out-of-scope
packet forwarding attempt.
- path MTU discovery takes care of routing header properly.
- be more strict about mbuf chain parsing.
it is not supposed to work.
logging fix: add "\n" to some of log() in in6_prefix.c.
improve in6_ifdetach(). now almost all structure depend on ifnet
will be cleared up.
possible loose ends:
- cached route_in6 in static varaiables needs to be cleared as well
- there are ifaddr manipulation without reference counting,
which should be fixed
we still see panics after card removal, though... not sure what is left.
(sync with kame)
although this version has been changed somewhat:
- reference counting on ifaddrs isn't as complete as Bill's original
work was. This is hard to get right, and we should attack one
protocol at a time.
- This doesn't do reference counting or dynamic allocation of ifnets yet.
- This version introduces a new PRU -- PRU_PURGEADDR, which is used to
purge an ifaddr from a protocol. The old method Bill used didn't work
on all protocols, and it only worked on some because it was Very Lucky.
This mostly works ... i.e. works for my USB Ethernet, except for a dangling
ifaddr reference left by the IPv6 code; have not yet tracked this down.
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...)
- in in6_ifattach_getifid(), we can grab interface id source iff the source
is universally (worldwide) unique. ARCnet hardware address is of 8bit and
does not satisfy the condition.
(in6_ifattach_getifid() is for getting interface id usable for pseudo
interfaces like gif*)
- xx_to_eui64() should return EUI64 format, not IPv6 interface id format.
this may seem awkward so I wish to clean these things up.
- in nd6.c, change if clause into case clause to allow future addition
of IFT_xxx easier.
