4.1.4. Experimental Protocol
A system should not implement an experimental protocol unless it
is participating in the experiment and has coordinated its use of
the protocol with the developer of the protocol.

another specialized mbuf type in the process. Also clean up some
of the cruft surrounding IPFW, multicast routing, RSVP, and other
ill-explored corners.
several new features are added:
- support vc/vp shaping
- support pvc shadow interface
code cleanup:
- remove WMAYBE related code. ENI WMAYBE DMA doen't work.
- remove updating if_lastchange for every packet.
- BPF related code is moved to midway.c as it should be.
(bpfwrite should work if atm_pseudohdr and LLC/SNAP are
prepended.)
- BPF link type is changed to DLT_ATM_RFC1483.
BPF now understands only LLC/SNAP!! (because bpf can't
handle variable link header length.)
It is recommended to use LLC/SNAP instead of NULL
encapsulation for various reasons. (BPF, IPv6,
interoperability, etc.)
the code has been used for months in ALTQ and KAME IPv6.
OKed by phk long time ago.
`len = min(so->so_snd.sb_cc, win) - off;'. min() has type u_int
and `off' has type int, so when min() is 0 and `off' is 1, the RHS
overflows to 0U - 1 = UINT_MAX. `len' has type long, so when
sizeof(long) == sizeof(int), the LHS normally overflows to to the
correct value of -1, but when sizeof(long) > sizeof(int), the LHS
is UINT_MAX.
Fixed some u_long's that should have been fixed-sized types.
mismatches exposed by this (the prototype for tcp_respond() didn't
match the function definition lexically, and still depends on a
gcc feature to match if ints have more than 32 bits).
Any packet that can be matched by a ipfw rule can be redirected
transparently to another port or machine. Redirection to another port
mostly makes sense with tcp, where a session can be set up
between a proxy and an unsuspecting client. Redirection to another machine
requires that the other machine also be expecting to receive the forwarded
packets, as their headers will not have been modified.
/sbin/ipfw must be recompiled!!!

looutput is now static.
Other callers who want to use loopback to allow shortcutting
should call the special entrypoint for this, if_simloop(), which is
specifically designed for this purpose. Using looutput for this purpose
was problematic, particularly with bpf and trying to keep track
of whether one should be using the charateristics of the loopback interface
or the interface (e.g. if_ethersubr.c) that was requesting the loopback.
There was a whole class of errors due to this mis-use each of which had
hacks to cover them up.

net.inet.ip.icmp.bmcastecho = 0 by removing the extra check for the
address being a multicast address. The test now relies on the link
layer flags that indicate it was received via multicast. The previous
logic was broken and replied to ICMP echo/timestamp broadcasts even
when the sysctl option disallowed them.

Prior to this change, Accidental recursion protection was done by
the diverted daemon feeding back the divert port number it got
the packet on, as the port number on a sendto(). IPFW knew not to
redivert a packet to this port (again). Processing of the ruleset
started at the beginning again, skipping that divert port.
The new semantic (which is how we should have done it the first time)
is that the port number in the sendto() is the rule number AFTER which
processing should restart, and on a recvfrom(), the port number is the
rule number which caused the diversion. This is much more flexible,
and also more intuitive. If the user uses the same sockaddr received
when resending, processing resumes at the rule number following that
that caused the diversion. The user can however select to resume rule
processing at any rule. (0 is restart at the beginning)
To enable the new code use
option IPFW_DIVERT_RESTART
This should become the default as soon as people have looked at it a bit
passed to the user process for incoming packets. When the sockaddr_in
is passed back to the divert socket later, use thi sas the primary
interface lookup and only revert to the IP address when the name fails.
This solves a long standing bug with divert sockets:
When two interfaces had the same address (P2P for example) the interface
"assigned" to the reinjected packet was sometimes incorect.
Probably we should define a "sockaddr_div" to officially hold this
extended information in teh same manner as sockaddr_dl.

NetBSD, ported to FreeBSD by Pierre Beyssac <pb@fasterix.freenix.org> and
minorly tweaked by me.
This is a standard part of FreeBSD, but must be enabled with:
"sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1" ...and of course forwarding must
also be enabled. This should probably be modified to use the zone
allocator for speed and space efficiency. The current algorithm also
appears to lose if the number of active paths exceeds IPFLOW_MAX (256),
in which case it wastes lots of time trying to figure out which cache
entry to drop.
Define a parameter which indicates the maximum number of sockets in a
system, and use this to size the zone allocators used for sockets and
for certain PCBs.
Convert PF_LOCAL PCB structures to be type-stable and add a version number.
Define an external format for infomation about socket structures and use
it in several places.
Define a mechanism to get all PF_LOCAL and PF_INET PCB lists through
sysctl(3) without blocking network interrupts for an unreasonable
length of time. This probably still has some bugs and/or race
conditions, but it seems to work well enough on my machines.
It is now possible for `netstat' to get almost all of its information
via the sysctl(3) interface rather than reading kmem (changes to follow).

Make callers of namei() responsible for releasing references or locks
instead of having the underlying filesystems do it. This eliminates
redundancy in all terminal filesystems and makes it possible for stacked
transport layers such as umapfs or nullfs to operate correctly.
Quality testing was done with testvn, and lat_fs from the lmbench suite.

vop_mknod and vop_symlink still release the returned vpp. vop_rename
still releases 4 vnode arguments before it returns. These remaining cases
will be corrected in the next set of patches.

The "src == dst" check will still prevent the single-homed case of the

It controls if the system is to accept source routed packets.
It used to be such that, no matter if the setting of net.inet.ip.sourceroute,
source routed packets destined at us would be accepted. Now it is
controllable with eth default set to NOT accept those.
offset is non-zero:
- Do not match fragmented packets if the rule specifies a port or
TCP flags
- Match fragmented packets if the rule does not specify a port and
TCP flags
Since ipfw cannot examine port numbers or TCP flags for such packets,
it is now illegal to specify the 'frag' option with either ports or
tcpflags. Both kernel and ipfw userland utility will reject rules
containing a combination of these options.
BEWARE: packets that were previously passed may now be rejected, and
vice versa.

a hashed port list. In the new scheme, in_pcblookup() goes away and is
replaced by a new routine, in_pcblookup_local() for doing the local port
check. Note that this implementation is space inefficient in that the PCB
struct is now too large to fit into 128 bytes. I might deal with this in the
future by using the new zone allocator, but I wanted these changes to be
extensively tested in their current form first.
Also:
1) Fixed off-by-one errors in the port lookup loops in in_pcbbind().
2) Got rid of some unneeded rehashing. Adding a new routine, in_pcbinshash()
to do the initialial hash insertion.
3) Renamed in_pcblookuphash() to in_pcblookup_hash() for easier readability.
4) Added a new routine, in_pcbremlists() to remove the PCB from the various
hash lists.
5) Added/deleted comments where appropriate.
6) Removed unnecessary splnet() locking. In general, the PCB functions should
be called at splnet()...there are unfortunately a few exceptions, however.
7) Reorganized a few structs for better cache line behavior.
8) Killed my TCP_ACK_HACK kludge. It may come back in a different form in
the future, however.
These changes have been tested on wcarchive for more than a month. In tests
done here, connection establishment overhead is reduced by more than 50
times, thus getting rid of one of the major networking scalability problems.
Still to do: make tcp_fastimo/tcp_slowtimo scale well for systems with a
large number of connections. tcp_fastimo is easy; tcp_slowtimo is difficult.

rev 1.66. This fix contains both belt and suspenders.
Belt: ignore packets where src == dst and srcport == dstport in TCPS_LISTEN.
These packets can only legitimately occur when connecting a socket to itself,
which doesn't go through TCPS_LISTEN (it goes CLOSED->SYN_SENT->SYN_RCVD->
ESTABLISHED). This prevents the "standard" "land" attack, although doesn't
prevent the multi-homed variation.
Suspenders: send a RST in response to a SYN/ACK in SYN_RECEIVED state.
The only packets we should get in SYN_RECEIVED are
1. A retransmitted SYN, or
2. An ack of our SYN/ACK.
The "land" attack depends on us accepting our own SYN/ACK as an ACK;
in SYN_RECEIVED state; this should prevent all "land" attacks.
We also move up the sequence number check for the ACK in SYN_RECEIVED.
This neither helps nor hurts with respect to the "land" attack, but
puts more of the validation checking in one spot.
