when rt == rt->rt_gwroute . rt == rt->gwroute shouldn't happen
in the first place, but that's another problem.

(mask,value) in the tree, don't immediately return EEXIST. Instead, check
to see if the pre-existing route was generated by protcol-cloning. If so,
then it is OK to simply blow away the old route and re-attempt the insertion.
If not, then fall back to the same error code as before.
go away whenever a clone's parent is changed, or a route is added in a
certain set of circumstances.
This also includes code to forbid setting a route's gateway to an
address which can only be reached through that route, thus (hopefully)
eliminating one class of cloning bottomless-recursion bugs.
delete them when the ``parent'' goes away
route.h: add glue to track this to rtentry structure. WARNING WILL ROBINSON!
This will be yet another incompatible change in your route-using binaries.
I apologize, but this was the only way to do it. I took this opportunity
to increase the size of the metrics to what I believe will be the final
length for 2.1, so that when the T/TCP stuff is done, this won't happen
again.
and one set by the protocol family. Also add another parameter to
rtalloc1() to allow for any interface flags to be ignored; currently
this is only useful for RTF_PRCLONING. Get rid of rt_prflags and re-unite
with rt_flags. Add T/TCP ``route metrics''.
NB: YOU MUST RECOMPILE `route' AND OTHER RELATED PROGRAMS AS A RESULT OF
THIS CHANGE.
This also adds a new interface parameter, `ifi_physical', which will
eventually replace IFF_ALTPHYS as the mechanism for specifying the
particular physical connection desired on a multiple-connection card.
NB: YOU MUST RECOMPILE `ifconfig' AND OTHER RELATED PROGRAMS AS A RESULT OF
THIS CHANGE.
NB: You will have to recompile programs which use the `rt_use' member in
order to get the correct values. This should not cause incorrect operation,
but the statistics may look a little confusing.
a route. (This still doesn't work, but it doesn't panic now.) It looks
like there may be a number of incipient bugs in this code.
Also, get ready for the time when all IP gateway routes are cloning, which
is necessary to keep proper TCP statistics.
to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):
- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.
What still needs to be done:
- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.
Some notes about the porting process:
In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.
I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.
