the end of that sstructure to make evolution easier.
Add definitions for the 802.3/Ethernet MIB. To implement this, simply
add a `struct ifmib_iso_8802_3' somewhere in your interface's softc,
point if_linkmib to it, set if_linkmiblen, and fill in the statistics
with appropriate values. (I didn't want to create Yet Another Ethernet-
related header file, otherwise this would have been separated out.)
like it does elsewhere. This is probably only happens when incorrect
args are given to route(8), or when running with non-IPv4 stacks but
incorrect args to the route command is no excuse for panicing!

This is a patch to sys/net/if.c. What it does is patch the algorithm
for finding an IP address on an interface which most closely matches
a given IP address. The problem with it is when no address matches,
and you have to just pick one at random. Then the code ends up picking
the last IP address in the list. This patch changes things so it
picks up the first address instead.
Usually the first address is more useful as the later ones are aliases.
interfaces. This creates two new tables in the net.link.generic branch
of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other
contains a blob provided by the interface (and presumably used to
implement link-layer-specific MIB variables). A number of things
have been moved around in the `ifnet' and `ifdata' structures, so
NEW VERSIONS OF ifconfig(8) AND routed(8) ARE REQUIRED. (A simple
recompile is all that's necessary.)
I have a sample program which uses this interface for those interested
in making use of it.

only manifested itself in the presence of unconfigured point-to-point
interfaces.

The old system had the misfeature that the only policy it could implement
was tail-drop; the new IF_ENQ_DROP macro/function makes it possible
to implement more sophisticated queueing policies on a system-wide
basis. No code actually uses this yet (although on my machine
I have converted the ethernet and (polled) loopback to use it).
pr_usrreq mechanism which was poorly designed and error-prone. This
commit renames pr_usrreq to pr_ousrreq so that old code which depended on it
would break in an obvious manner. This commit also implements the new
interface for TCP, although the old function is left as an example
(#ifdef'ed out). This commit ALSO fixes a longstanding bug in the
TCP timer processing (introduced by davidg on 1995/04/12) which caused
timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had
expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq()
to indicate that the TCB had been deleted). Finally, some code
related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not
relevant t -current and doesn't look at all like my current code.
purpose, other than to get in the way of the ARP table and cause
"can't allocate llinfo" errors.
This change may cause gated or routed to start complaining when adding
such routes. If so, these programs will need to be fixed to not try
to add these routes.

gary went a little overboard on commenting out unused variables.

All new code is "#ifdef PC98"ed so this should make no difference to

the destination represents. For IP:
- Iff it is a host route, RTF_LOCAL and RTF_BROADCAST indicate local
(belongs to this host) and broadcast addresses, respectively.
- For all routes, RTF_MULTICAST is set if the destination is multicast.
The RTF_BROADCAST flag is used by ip_output() to eliminate a call to
in_broadcast() in a common case; this gives about 1% in our packet-generation
experiments. All three flags might be used (although they aren't now)
to determine whether a packet can be forwarded; a given host route can
represent a forwardable address if:
(rt->rt_flags & (RTF_HOST | RTF_LOCAL | RTF_BROADCAST | RTF_MULTICAST))
== RTF_HOST
Obviously, one still has to do all the work if a host route is not present,
but this code allows one to cache the results of such a lookup if rtalloc1()
is called without masking RTF_PRCLONING.

header for use in decompressing subsequant packets. If cslip gets garbage
(such as what happens when there is a port speed mismatch or modem line
noise), it will occasionally mistake the packet as a valid uncompressed
packet. When it tries to save off the header, it doesn't bother to check
for the validity of the header length and will happily clobber not only
the cslip data structure, but parts of other kernel memory that happens
to follow it...causing, ahem, undesired behavior.
