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.
between ignoring options specified in the setsockopt call if IP_HDRINCL is set
(the UCB choice when VJ's code was brought in) vs allowing them (what everyone
else did, and what is assumed by programs everywhere...sigh).
Also perform some checking of the passed down packet to avoid running off
the end of a mbuf chain.

Allow the user to nominate one of three ranges of port numbers as
candidates for selecting a local address to replace a zero port number.
The ranges are selected via a setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_PORTRANGE, &arg)
call. The three ranges are: default, high (to bypass firewalls) and
low (to get a port below 1024).
The default and high port ranges are sysctl settable under sysctl
net.inet.ip.portrange.*
This code also fixes a potential deadlock if the system accidently ran out
of local port addresses. It'd drop into an infinite while loop.
The secure port selection (for root) should reduce overheads and increase
reliability of rlogin/rlogind/rsh/rshd if they are modified to take
advantage of it.

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.

- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.

NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
the interface output queue and further udp packets would be fragmented
and only partially sent - keeping the output queue full and jamming the
network, but not actually getting any real work done (because you can't
send just 'part' of a udp packet - if you fragment it, you must send
the whole thing). The fix involves adding a check to make sure that the
output queue has sufficient space for all of the fragments.
