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...)
MSS advertisement must always be:
max(if mtu) - ip hdr siz - tcp hdr siz
We violated this in the previous code so it was fixed.
tcp_mss_to_advertise() now takes af (af on wire) as its argument,
to compute right ip hdr siz.
tcp_segsize() will take care of IPsec header size.
One thing I'm not really sure is how to handle IPsec header size in
*rxsegsizep (inbound segment size estimation).
The current code subtracts possible *outbound* IPsec size from *rxsegsizep,
hoping that the peer is using the same IPsec policy as me.
It may not be applicable, could TCP gulu please comment...
(Sorry for a big commit, I can't separate this into several pieces...)
Pls check sys/netinet6/TODO and sys/netinet6/IMPLEMENTATION for details.
- sys/kern: do not assume single mbuf, accept chained mbuf on passing
data from userland to kernel (or other way round).
- "midway" ATM card: ATM PVC pseudo device support, like those done in ALTQ
package (ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/).
- sys/netinet/tcp*: IPv4/v6 dual stack tcp support.
- sys/netinet/{ip6,icmp6}.h, sys/net/pfkeyv2.h: IETF document assumes those
file to be there so we patch it up.
- sys/netinet: IPsec additions are here and there.
- sys/netinet6/*: most of IPv6 code sits here.
- sys/netkey: IPsec key management code
- dev/pci/pcidevs: regen
In my understanding no code here is subject to export control so it
should be safe.
SYN,ACK packets during Path MTU Discovery. Fix tcp_respond() to do the
appropriate route lookup and set DF as appropriate.
Also, fixup similar code in tcp_output() to relookup the route if it
is down.
where the user issued a write with a length greater than MLEN but less
than MINCLSIZE, thus causing two mbufs to be used. The loop in sosend()
would then call PRU_SEND twice, causing TCP to transmit 2 packets when
it could have transmitted one.

mailing list.
the burst size allowed, but rather a fixed number of packets, as
described in the Internet Draft. Default allowed burst is 4 packets,
per the Draft.
Make the use of CWM and the allowed burst size tunable via sysctl.
TCP connections by using the MTU of the interface. Also added
a knob, mss_ifmtu, to force all connections to use the MTU of
the interface to calculate the advertised MSS.
meeting of IETF #41 by Amy Hughes <ahughes@isi.edu>, and in an upcoming
internet draft from Hughes, Touch, and Heidemann.
CWM eliminates line-rate bursts after idle periods by counting pending
(unacknowledged) packets and limiting the congestion window to the
initial congestion window plus the pending packet count. This has the
effect of allowing us to use the window as long as we continue to transmit,
but as soon as we stop transmitting, we go back to a slow-start (also known
as `use it or lose it').
This is not enabled by default. You can enable this behavior by patching
the "tcp_cwm" global (set it to non-zero) or by building a kernel with the
TCP_CWM option.
code, as clarified in the TCPIMPL WG meeting at IETF #41: If the SYN
(active open) or SYN,ACK (passive open) was retransmitted, the initial
congestion window for the first slow start of that connection must be
one segment.
RTO estimation changes. Under some circumstances it would return a value
of 0, while the old Van Jacobson RTO code would return a minimum of 3.
This would result in 12 retransmissions, each 1 second apart.
This takes care of those instances, and ensures that t_rttmin is
used everywhere as a lower bound.
in the packet. This fixes a bug that was resulting in extra packets
in retransmissions (the second packet would be 12 bytes long,
reflecting the RFC1323 timestamp option size).
- If we fail to allocate mbufs for the outgoing segment, free the header
and abort.
From Stevens:
- Ensure the persist timer is running if the send window reaches zero.
Part of the fix for kern/2335 (pete@daemon.net).
The sysctl'able variable "tcp_init_win", when set to 0, selects an
auto-tuning algorithm for selecting the initial window, based on transmit
segment size, per discussion in the IETF tcpimpl working group.
Default initial window is still 1 segment, but will soon become 2 segments,
per discussion in tcpimpl.
Basically, in silly window avoidance, don't use the raw MSS we advertised
to the peer. What we really want here is the _expected_ size of received
segments, so we need to account for the path MTU (eventually; right now,
the interface MTU for "local" addresses and loopback or tcp_mssdflt for
non-local addresses). Without this, silly window avoidance would never
kick in if we advertised a very large (e.g. ~64k) MSS to the peer.
- Don't overload t_maxseg. Previous behavior was to set it to the min
of the peer's advertised MSS, our advertised MSS, and tcp_mssdflt
(for non-local networks). This breaks PMTU discovery running on
either host. Instead, remember the MSS we advertise, and use it
as appropriate (in silly window avoidance).
- Per last bullet, split tcp_mss() into several functions for handling
MSS (ours and peer's), and performing various tasks when a connection
becomes ESTABLISHED.
- Introduce a new function, tcp_segsize(), which computes the max size
for every segment transmitted in tcp_output(). This will eventually
be used to hook in PMTU discovery.
