- for ipv4, defer decision to ip layer as h/w checksum offloading does
so that it can check the actual interface the packet is going to.
- for ipv6, disable it.
(maybe will be revisited when it implements h/w checksum offloading.)
ok'ed by Jason Thorpe.
- introduce t_segqlen, the number of segments in segq/timeq.
the name is from freebsd.
- rather than maintaining a copy of sack blocks (rcv_sack_block[]),
build it directly from the segment list when needed.

Fixes in that patch for pre-existing TCP pcb initializations were already
committed to NetBSD-current, so are not included in this commit.
The SACK patch has been observed to correctly negotiate and respond,
to SACKs in wide-area traffic.
There are two indepenently-observed, as-yet-unresolved anomalies:
First, seeing unexplained delays between in fast retransmission
(potentially explainable by an 0.2sec RTT between adjacent
ethernet/wifi NICs); and second, peculiar and unepxlained TCP
retransmits observed over an ath0 card.
After discussion with several interested developers, I'm committing
this now, as-is, for more eyes to use and look over. Current hypothesis
is that the anomalies above may in fact be due to link/level (hardware,
driver, HAL, firmware) abberations in the test setup, affecting both
Kentaro's wired-Ethernet NIC and in my two (different) WiFi NICs.
support IPv6 if KAME IPSEC (RFC is not explicit about how we make data stream
for checksum with IPv6, but i'm pretty sure using normal pseudo-header is the
right thing).
XXX
current TCP MD5 signature code has giant flaw:
it does not validate signature on input (can't believe it! what is the point?)
(MD5 signatures for TCP, as used with BGP). Credit for original
FreeBSD code goes to Bruce M. Simpson, with FreeBSD sponsorship
credited to sentex.net. Shortening of the setsockopt() name
attributed to Vincent Jardin.
This commit is a minimal, working version of the FreeBSD code, as
MFC'ed to FreeBSD-4. It has received minimal testing with a ttcp
modified to set the TCP-MD5 option; BMS's additions to tcpdump-current
(tcpdump -M) confirm that the MD5 signatures are correct. Committed
as-is for further testing between a NetBSD BGP speaker (e.g., quagga)
and industry-standard BGP speakers (e.g., Cisco, Juniper).
NOTE: This version has two potential flaws. First, I do see any code
that verifies recieved TCP-MD5 signatures. Second, the TCP-MD5
options are internally padded and assumed to be 32-bit aligned. A more
space-efficient scheme is to pack all TCP options densely (and
possibly unaligned) into the TCP header ; then do one final padding to
a 4-byte boundary. Pre-existing comments note that accounting for
TCP-option space when we add SACK is yet to be done. For now, I'm
punting on that; we can solve it properly, in a way that will handle
SACK blocks, as a separate exercise.

timer, otherwise there is a tiny window where both timers are
active, and this is not correct according to the comments in the
code. I believe that this is the cause of the to_ticks <= 0 assertion
failure in callout_schedule() that I've been getting.
During testing the prediction counters show a hit-rate on about 85% for
packets sent on a local LAN, and better than 99% for intercontinental
high-speed bulk traffic (!).

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.

sent from. This change avoid a linear search through all mbufs when using
large TCP windows, and therefore permit high-speed connections on long
distances.
Tested on a 1 Gigabit connection between Luleå and San Francisco, a distance
of about 15000km. With TCP windows of just over 20 Mbytes it could keep up
with 950Mbit/s.
After discussions with Matt Thomas and Jason Thorpe.
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.
