circumstances, caused perfectly good connections to be dropped. This
happened for connections over a LAN, where the retransmit timer
calculation TCP_REXMTVAL(tp) returned 0. If sending was blocked by flow
control for long enough, the old code dropped the connection, even
though timely replies were being received for all window probes.

If COMPAT_IPFW is not defined, or if it is defined to 1, enable;
otherwise, disable.
This means that these changes actually have no effect on anyone at the
moment. (It just makes it easier for me to keep my code in sync.)
In the future, the `not defined' part of the hack should be eliminated,
but doing this now would require everyone to change their config files.
The same conditionals need to be made in ip_input.c as well for this to
ave any useful effect, but I'm not ready to do that right now.

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.
2) Honor the keep-alive timer in the CLOSING state.
This fixes problems with connections getting "stuck" due to incompletion
of the final connection shutdown which can be a BIG problem on busy WWW
servers.
common labels for LINT. There are still some common declarations for the
!KERNEL case in tcp_debug.h and spx_debug.h. trpt depends on the ones in
tcp_debug.h.
This fixes a panic that occurs when ifconfig ioctl(s) were interrupted
by IP traffic at the wrong time - resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.
This was originally noticed on a FreeBSD 1.0 system, but the problem still
exists in current sources.

Maybe another one is needed that just changes the default for SO_KEEPALIVE ?

- 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).
