In practice it seems that in situations of high packet loss the ACK
timeout seems to hit this maximum (perhaps inappropriately, but the
estimation algorithm is not perfect, so apparently it happens). In
any case, 10 seconds is way too high a value so lower to 1 second.

the MAC label referenced from 'struct socket' in the IPv4 and
IPv6-based protocols. This permits MAC labels to be checked during
network delivery operations without dereferencing inp->inp_socket
to get to so->so_label, which will eventually avoid our having to
grab the socket lock during delivery at the network layer.
This change introduces 'struct inpcb' as a labeled object to the
MAC Framework, along with the normal circus of entry points:
initialization, creation from socket, destruction, as well as a
delivery access control check.
For most policies, the inpcb label will simply be a cache of the
socket label, so a new protocol switch method is introduced,
pr_sosetlabel() to notify protocols that the socket layer label
has been updated so that the cache can be updated while holding
appropriate locks. Most protocols implement this using
pru_sosetlabel_null(), but IPv4/IPv6 protocols using inpcbs use
the the worker function in_pcbsosetlabel(), which calls into the
MAC Framework to perform a cache update.
Biba, LOMAC, and MLS implement these entry points, as do the stub
policy, and test policy.

it suffers from the ABA problem. Running an application with funnels

It may be possible to eliminate the contention between threads that insert

Michael/Scott queue algorithm that has two locks.

the event is lost. Flow control events are converted to netgraph
flow control messages and send along the hook that is connected to
the flow controlled VC. ACR change events are converted to control

queue items that can be allocated by netgraph and the number of free queue
items that are cached on a private list.
Netgraph places an upper limit on the number of queue items it may allocate.
When there is a large number of netgraph messages travelling through the
system (100k/sec and more) there is a high probability, that messages get
queued at the nodes and netgraph runs out of queue items. In this case the data
flow through netgraph gets blocked. The tuneable for the number of free
items lets one trade memory for performance.
The tunables are also available as read-only sysctls.

- Make transmission of packets work again. This stopped working because
ether_ifattach() was forcing ifp->if_output to be ether_output() and
clobbering our attempt to override this vector with a pointer to
ng_fec_output(). Move the overriding of ifp->if_output to after
ether_ifattach().
- Abandon the use of the netgraph ng_ether_input_p hook for snagging
incoming frames, and instead override the ifp->if_input vector for
interfaces that have been aggregated into our bundle. (I would have
loved to have written things this way in the first place, but I
didn't want to have to be the one to implement the if_input hook
and change all the drivers.) This avoids collisions with the ng_ether
module, which uses the same hook. Each aggregated device now calls
ng_fec_input() directly, which then fakes up the rcvif pointer
before invoking ifp->if_input itself.
This module should actually work now.
changed since this code was written:
- The ng_ether_input_p hook only accepts two arguments now: the pointer
to the ether header structure is gone.
- It's no longer necessary to cons up a fake ether header before passing
incoming packets to BPF_MTAP().
ng_fec_input() has been modified to account for these two changes.
Running tcpdump on fec0 should work now.
