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.

could modify the struct mbuf and calling functions (udp_input() and
udp4_realinput()) would have used a garbled local copy of the pointer.
The fix is not perfect. udp4_espinudp() should use m_pulldown()...
pass it to in_pcbbind() so that can allocate a low numbered port
if setsockopt() has been used to set IP_PORTRANGE to IP_PORTRANGE_LOW.
While there, fail in_pcbconnect() if the in_pcbbind() fails - rather
than sending the request out from a port of zero.
This has been largely broken since the socket option was added in 1998.
the decapsulator dispatch changes in 2001. Problems found and fixed
by Christine Jones of BBN. Specifically:
Check for a packet's protocol to be ENCAP_PROTO, not AF_INET.
Remove one-back cache for last vif, because vif_encapcheck is called
for each vif, rather than being expected to find the appropriate vif.
The cache usage caused packets to be input on the wrong vif and hence
usually dropped.
In vif_encapcheck, verify the local source as well. While mrouted
endeavors not to create multiple tunnels with a peer, a packet
arriving with the wrong local address is still wrong and should not be
accepted. (This is a correctness nit, not a security issue.) Order
checks to fail quickly for packets being checked to see if they match
a vif other than the one they belong on (essentially, check peer
source address in outer header first).
Claim 69 bits of match (32 each from outer src/dst and 5 from checking
that inner dst is within 224/5). This should result in the vif having
a higher priority for multicast packets compared to a parallel gif(4)
tunnel, and that both seems appropriate if both are configured and
seems to match the semantics expected by the decapsulator dispatch
machinery.
(These changes were made in 2.99.15 and about a dozen nodes are
running them with many vifs. ip_mroute.c has not changed
significantly since then (February 2005) and the changes applied
cleanly to current and compile cleanly.)

1. Don't act on ICMP-need-frag immediately if adhoc checks on the
advertised MTU fail. The MTU update is delayed until a TCP retransmit
happens.
2. Ignore ICMP Source Quench messages meant for TCP connections.
