reassembly inbound tcp segments. The old algorithm just blindly
dropped in segments without coalescing. This meant that every
segment could take up greater and greater room on the linked list
of segments. This of course is now subject to a tighter limit (100)
of segments which in a high BDP situation will cause us to be a
lot more in-efficent as we drop segments beyond 100 entries that
we receive. What this restructure does is cause the reassembly
buffer to coalesce segments putting an emphasis on the two
common cases (which avoid walking the list of segments) i.e.
where we add to the back of the queue of segments and where we
add to the front. We also have the reassembly buffer supporting
a couple of debug options (black box logging as well as counters
for code coverage). These are compiled out by default but can
be added by uncommenting the defines.

TCP's smoothed RTT (SRTT) can be much larger than an actual observed RTT. This can be either because of hz restricting the calculable RTT to 10ms in VMs or 1ms using the default 1000hz or simply because SRTT recently incorporated a larger value.
If an ACK arrives before the calculated badrxtwin (now + SRTT):
tp->t_badrxtwin = ticks + (tp->t_srtt >> (TCP_RTT_SHIFT + 1));

summits at BSDCan and BSDCam in 2017.
The TCP Blackbox Recorder allows you to capture events on a TCP connection
in a ring buffer. It stores metadata with the event. It optionally stores
the TCP header associated with an event (if the event is associated with a
packet) and also optionally stores information on the sockets.
It supports setting a log ID on a TCP connection and using this to correlate
multiple connections that share a common log ID.
You can log connections in different modes. If you are doing a coordinated
test with a particular connection, you may tell the system to put it in
mode 4 (continuous dump). Or, if you just want to monitor for errors, you
can put it in mode 1 (ring buffer) and dump all the ring buffers associated
with the connection ID when we receive an error signal for that connection
ID. You can set a default mode that will be applied to a particular ratio
of incoming connections. You can also manually set a mode using a socket
option.
This commit includes only basic probes. rrs@ has added quite an abundance
of probes in his TCP development work. He plans to commit those soon.
There are user-space programs which we plan to commit as ports. These read
the data from the log device and output pcapng files, and then let you

If the TCP stack has retransmitted more than 1/4 of the total
number of retransmits before a connection drop, it decides that
its current RTT estimate is hopelessly out of date and decides
to recalculate it from scratch starting with the next ACK.
Unfortunately, it implements this by zeroing out the current RTT
estimate. Drop this hack entirely, as it makes it significantly more
difficult to debug connection issues. Instead check for excessive
retransmits at the point where srtt is updated from an ACK being
received. If we've exceeded 1/4 of the maximum retransmits,
discard the previous srtt estimate and replace it with the latest
rtt measurement.

o New kernel modules added: ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko. New kernel

and unloading of ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko kernel modules.
o IPSEC_NAT_T option was removed. Now NAT-T support is enabled by

support was removed. Added TCP/UDP checksum handling for
inbound packets that were decapsulated by transport mode SAs.
setkey(8) modified to show run-time NAT-T configuration of SA.
o New network pseudo interface if_ipsec(4) added. For now it is
build as part of ipsec.ko module (or with IPSEC kernel).
It implements IPsec virtual tunnels to create route-based VPNs.
o The network stack now invokes IPsec functions using special
methods. The only one header file <netipsec/ipsec_support.h>
should be included to declare all the needed things to work
with IPsec.
o All IPsec protocols handlers (ESP/AH/IPCOMP protosw) were removed.
Now these protocols are handled directly via IPsec methods.
o TCP_SIGNATURE support was reworked to be more close to RFC.
o PF_KEY SADB was reworked:
- now all security associations stored in the single SPI namespace,
and all SAs MUST have unique SPI.
- several hash tables added to speed up lookups in SADB.
- SADB now uses rmlock to protect access, and concurrent threads
can do SA lookups in the same time.
- many PF_KEY message handlers were reworked to reflect changes
in SADB.
- SADB_UPDATE message was extended to support new PF_KEY headers:
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST. They
can be used by IKE daemon to change SA addresses.
o ipsecrequest and secpolicy structures were cardinally changed to
avoid locking protection for ipsecrequest. Now we support
only limited number (4) of bundled SAs, but they are supported
for both INET and INET6.
o INPCB security policy cache was introduced. Each PCB now caches
used security policies to avoid SP lookup for each packet.
o For inbound security policies added the mode, when the kernel does
check for full history of applied IPsec transforms.
o References counting rules for security policies and security
associations were changed. The proper SA locking added into xform
code.
o xform code was also changed. Now it is possible to unregister xforms.
tdb_xxx structures were changed and renamed to reflect changes in

received on a TCP session that has entered the ESTABLISHED state. This
results in a lot of calls to reset the keepalive timer.
This patch changes the behavior so we set the keepalive timer for the
keepalive idle time (TP_KEEPIDLE). When the keepalive timer fires, it will
first check to see if the session has been idle for TP_KEEPIDLE ticks. If
not, it will reschedule the keepalive timer for the time the session will
have been idle for TP_KEEPIDLE ticks.
For a session with regular communication, the keepalive timer should fire
approximately once every TP_KEEPIDLE ticks. For sessions with irregular
communication, the keepalive timer might fire more often. But, the
disruption from a periodic keepalive timer should be less than the regular
cost of resetting the keepalive timer on every packet.
(FWIW, this change saved approximately 1.73% of the busy CPU cycles on a
particular test system with a heavy TCP output load. Of course, the
actual impact is very specific to the particular hardware and workload.)
