* Include "opt_inet.h" everywhere IP-ids are generated with ip_newid(),
so the RANDOM_IP_ID option is visible. Also in ip_id(), to ensure
the prototype for ip_randomid() is made visible.
* Add new sysctl to enable randomized IP-ids, provided the kernel was
configured with RANDOM_IP_ID. (The sysctl defaults to zero, and is
a read-only zero if RANDOM_IP_ID is not configured).
Note that the implementation of randomized IP ids is still defective,
and should not be enabled at all (even if configured) without
very careful deliberation. Caveat emptor.
due to demonstrated low-period repeated IDs from the randomized IP_id
code. Consensus is that the low-period repetition (much less than
2^15) is not suitable for general-purpose use.
Allocators of new IPv4 IDs should now call the function ip_newid().
Randomized IP_ids is now a config-time option, "options RANDOM_IP_ID".
ip_newid() can use ip_random-id()_IP_ID if and only if configured
with RANDOM_IP_ID. A sysctl knob should be provided.
This API may be reworked in the near future to support linear ip_id
counters per (src,dst) IP-address pair.
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.
Fast-ipsec tested with ICMP or UDP over ESP. TCP doesn't work, yet.
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.
optimization made last year. should solve PR 17867 and 10195.
IP_HDRINCL behavior of raw ip socket is kept unchanged. we may want to
provide IP_HDRINCL variant that does not swap endian.
network interfaces. This works by pre-computing the pseudo-header
checksum and caching it, delaying the actual checksum to ip_output()
if the hardware cannot perform the sum for us. In-bound checksums
can either be fully-checked by hardware, or summed up for final
verification by software. This method was modeled after how this
is done in FreeBSD, although the code is significantly different in
most places.
We don't delay checksums for IPv6/TCP, but we do take advantage of the
cached pseudo-header checksum.
Note: hardware-assisted checksumming defaults to "off". It is
enabled with ifconfig(8). See the manual page for details.
Implement hardware-assisted checksumming on the DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet,
3c90xB/3c90xC 10/100 Ethernet, and Alteon Tigon/Tigon2 Gigabit Ethernet.
- let ipfilter look at wire-format packet only (not the decapsulated ones),
so that VPN setting can work with NAT/ipfilter settings.

TODO: use header history for stricter inbound validation
to protocol handlers, based on src/dst (for ip proto #4/41).
see comment in ip_encap.c for details of the problem we have.
there are too many protocol specs for ip proto #4/41.
backward compatibility with MROUTING case is now provided in ip_encap.c.
fix ipip to work with gif (using ip_encap.c). sorry for breakage.
gif now uses ip_encap.c.
introduce stf pseudo interface (implements 6to4, another IPv6-over-IPv4 code
with ip proto #41).
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.
between protocol handlers.
ipsec socket pointers, ipsec decryption/auth information, tunnel
decapsulation information are in my mind - there can be several other usage.
at this moment, we use this for ipsec socket pointer passing. this will
avoid reuse of m->m_pkthdr.rcvif in ipsec code.
due to the change, MHLEN will be decreased by sizeof(void *) - for example,
for i386, MHLEN was 100 bytes, but is now 96 bytes.
we may want to increase MSIZE from 128 to 256 for some of our architectures.
take caution if you use it for keeping some data item for long period
of time - use extra caution on M_PREPEND() or m_adj(), as they may result
in loss of m->m_pkthdr.aux pointer (and mbuf leak).
this will bump kernel version.
(as discussed in tech-net, tested in kame tree)
