drop the oldest entry in the queue.
There was a fair bit of discussion as to whether or not the
proper action is to drop a random entry in the queue. It's
my conclusion that a random drop is better than a head drop,
however profiling this section of code (done by John Capo)
shows that a head-drop results in a significant performance
increase.
There are scenarios where a random drop is more appropriate.
If I find one in reality, I'll add the random drop code under
a conditional.

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.

Reject the addition of rules that will never match (for example,

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.
1) Require all callers to pass a valid route pointer to ip_output()
so that we don't have to check and allocate one off the stack
as was done before. This eliminates one test and some stack
bloat from the common (UDP and TCP) case.
2) Perform the IP header checksum in-line if it's of the usual length.
This results in about a 5% speed-up in my packet-generation test.
3) Use ip_vhl field rather than ip_v and ip_hl bitfields.
1) Set the persist timer to help time-out connections in the CLOSING state.

- Header prediction for ACKs did not exclude Fast Retransmit/Recovery.
- srtt calculation tended to get ``stuck'' and could never decrease
when below 8. It still can't, but the scaling factors are adjusted
so that this artifact does not cause as bad an effect on the RTO
value as it used to.
The paper also points out the incr/8 error that has been long since fixed,
and the problems with ACKing frequency resulting from the use of options
which I suspect to be fixed already as well (as part of the T/TCP work).
