Wind River. In the IPv4 output path, one of the tests in ip_output()
checks how many slots are actually available in the interface output
queue before attempting to send a packet. If, for example, we need
to transmit a packet of 32K bytes over an interface with an MTU of
1500, we know it's going to take about 21 fragments to do it. If
there's less than 21 slots left in the output queue, there's no point
in transmitting anything at all: IP does not do retransmission, so
sending only some of the fragments would just be a waste of bandwidth.
(In an extreme case, if you're sending a heavy stream of fragmented
packets, you might find yourself sending nothing by the first fragment
of all your packets.) So if ip_output() notices there's not enough
room in the output queue to send the frame, it just dumps the packet
and returns ENOBUFS to the app.
It turns out ip6_output() lacks this code. Consequently, this caused
the netperf UDPIPV6_STREAM test to produce very poor results with large
write sizes. This commit adds code to check the remaining space in the
output queue and junk fragmented packets if they're too big to be
sent, just like with IPv4. (I can't imagine anyone's running an NFS
server using UDP over IPv6, but if they are, this will likely make them
a lot happier. :)
1. rt_check() cleanup:
rt_check() is only necessary for some address families to gain access
to the corresponding arp entry, so call it only in/near the *resolve()
routines where it is actually used -- at the moment this is
arpresolve(), nd6_storelladdr() (the call is embedded here),
and atmresolve() (the call is just before atmresolve to reduce
the number of changes).
This change will make it a lot easier to decouple the arp table
from the routing table.
There is an extra call to rt_check() in if_iso88025subr.c to
determine the routing info length. I have left it alone for
the time being.
The interface of arpresolve() and nd6_storelladdr() now changes slightly:
+ the 'rtentry' parameter (really a hint from the upper level layer)
is now passed unchanged from *_output(), so it becomes the route
to the final destination and not to the gateway.
+ the routines will return 0 if resolution is possible, non-zero
otherwise.
+ arpresolve() returns EWOULDBLOCK in case the mbuf is being held
waiting for an arp reply -- in this case the error code is masked
in the caller so the upper layer protocol will not see a failure.
2. arpcom untangling
Where possible, use 'struct ifnet' instead of 'struct arpcom' variables,
and use the IFP2AC macro to access arpcom fields.
This mostly affects the netatalk code.

a static const global variable in ah_core.c. This makes it more clear
that this array does not require synchronization, as well as
synchronizing the layout to the ESP algorithm list. This is the
version of my patch that Itojun committed to the KAME tree.

This enables pf to track dynamic address changes on interfaces (dailup) with
the "on (<ifname>)"-syntax. This also brings hooks in anticipation of
tracking cloned interfaces, which will be in future versions of pf.

mode is applied, since tunneled packets are considered to be
generated packets from a tunnel encapsulating node.
- tunnel mode may not be applied if SA mode is ANY and policy
does not say "tunnel it". check if we have extra IPv6 header
on the packet after ipsec6_output_tunnel() and call ip6_output()
only if additional IPv6 header is added.
- free the copyed packet before returning.

- rejects IPv6 packet toward IPv4-mapped address if its source address
is not an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, since the converted IPv4 packets
would have an unexpected IPv4 source address.
- when V6ONLY socket option is set, discard packets destined to a
v4/ipv4 mapped ipv6 address.
- have PULLDOWN_TEST codepath.
- get rid of in6_mcmatch().

This is the first of two commits; bringing in the kernel support first.
This can be enabled by compiling a kernel with options TCP_SIGNATURE
and FAST_IPSEC.
For the uninitiated, this is a TCP option which provides for a means of
authenticating TCP sessions which came into being before IPSEC. It is
still relevant today, however, as it is used by many commercial router
vendors, particularly with BGP, and as such has become a requirement for
interconnect at many major Internet points of presence.
Several parts of the TCP and IP headers, including the segment payload,
are digested with MD5, including a shared secret. The PF_KEY interface
is used to manage the secrets using security associations in the SADB.
There is a limitation here in that as there is no way to map a TCP flow
per-port back to an SPI without polluting tcpcb or using the SPD; the
code to do the latter is unstable at this time. Therefore this code only
supports per-host keying granularity.
Whilst FAST_IPSEC is mutually exclusive with KAME IPSEC (and thus IPv6),
TCP_SIGNATURE applies only to IPv4. For the vast majority of prospective
users of this feature, this will not pose any problem.
This implementation is output-only; that is, the option is honoured when
responding to a host initiating a TCP session, but no effort is made
[yet] to authenticate inbound traffic. This is, however, sufficient to
interwork with Cisco equipment.
Tested with a Cisco 2501 running IOS 12.0(27), and Quagga 0.96.4 with
local patches. Patches for tcpdump to validate TCP-MD5 sessions are also
available from me upon request.

(not interface addresses) to see if a given address is on-link.
- skip offlink prefixes in neighbor determination in nd6_is_addr_neighbor.
- in nd6_is_addr_neighbor, regarded every address as on-link when the
default router list is empty. otherwise, we'd not be able make a neighbor
cache for the address.
this algorithm is applied to hosts only.
- in nd6_is_addr_neighbor, check if the default interface is equal to
the interface in question in addition to check if the default router
list is empty.
