c1b4f79dfa Add an ability accept encapsulated packets from different sources by one
gif(4) interface. Add new option "ignore_source" for gif(4) interface.
When it is enabled, gif's encapcheck function requires match only for
packet's destination address.

59333867ff - Remove ND6_IFF_IGNORELOOP. This functionality was useless in practice
because a link where looped back NS messages are permanently observed
  does not work with either NDP or ARP for IPv4.

23e9ffb0e1 - Implement loopback probing state in enhanced DAD algorithm.
- Add no_dad and ignoreloop per-IF knob.  no_dad disables DAD completely,
  and ignoreloop is to prevent infinite loop in loopback probing state when
  loopback is permanently expected.

007054f070 Add vxlan interface
vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.

Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.

Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.

Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.

939a050ad9 Virtualize lagg(4) cloner. This change fixes a panic when tearing down
if_lagg(4) interfaces which were cloned in a vnet jail.

Sysctl nodes which are dynamically generated for each cloned interface
(net.link.lagg.N.*) have been removed, and use_flowid and flowid_shift
ifconfig(8) parameters have been added instead.  Flags and per-interface
statistics counters are displayed in "ifconfig -v".

44a9271b49 The lagg(4) interface is based on trunk(4) interface from OpenBSD.
The FreeBSD is the only system that has the FEC protocol, that is a simple alias
to loadbalance protocol and does not implement the ancient Cisco FEC standard.

From now on, we remove the fec protocol from the documentation and keep the FEC
code only for compatibility.

45c203fce2 Remove AppleTalk support.
AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.

Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

2c284d9395 Remove IPX support.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.

Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

2e25a531a3 Provide a working example line for an interface with 1 address running
with CARP.

Currently, we've got a problem that interface isn't IFF_UP at the time
we assign it a redundant address, and the latter gets stuck in INIT state.
Additional SIOCSIFFLAGS from ifconfig(8) kicks it to a working state.

A proper fix is kernel side and appeared to be non-trivial, not to be
checked in before 10.0-RELEASE.

356ab07e2d It turns out that too many drivers are not only parsing the L2/3/4
headers for TSO but also for generic checksum offloading.  Ideally we
would only have one common function shared amongst all drivers, and
perhaps when updating them for IPv6 we should introduce that.
Eventually we should provide the meta information along with mbufs to
avoid (re-)parsing entirely.

To not break IPv6 (checksums and offload) and to be able to MFC the
changes without risking to hurt 3rd party drivers, duplicate the v4
framework, as other OSes have done as well.

Introduce interface capability flags for TX/RX checksum offload with
IPv6, to allow independent toggling (where possible).  Add CSUM_*_IPV6
flags for UDP/TCP over IPv6, and reserve further for SCTP, and IPv6
fragmentation.  Define CSUM_DELAY_DATA_IPV6 as we do for legacy IP and
add an alias for CSUM_DATA_VALID_IPV6.

This pretty much brings IPv6 handling in line with IPv4.
TSO is still handled in a different way and not via if_hwassist.

Update ifconfig to allow (un)setting of the new capability flags.
Update loopback to announce the new capabilities and if_hwassist flags.

Individual driver updates will have to follow, as will SCTP.

08b68b0e4c A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

If compiled in for dual-stack use, test with feature_present(3)
to see if we should register the IPv4/IPv6 address family related
options.

In case there is no "inet" support we would love to go with the
usage() and make the address family mandatory (as it is for anything
but inet in theory).  Unfortunately people are used to
  ifconfig IF up/down
etc. as well, so use a fallback of "link".  Adjust the man page
to reflect these minor details.

Improve error handling printing a warning in addition to the usage
telling that we do not know the given address family in two places.
