Support for the multiport feature is mostly implemented, but currently
disabled due to some potential races in the hot plug code paths.

vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.

Sysctl nodes which are dynamically generated for each cloned interface
(net.link.lagg.N.*) have been removed, and use_flowid and flowid_shift
ifconfig(8) parameters have been added instead. Flags and per-interface

make the style consistent, and fix some grammar issues.

that this means full checksum coverage for received packets.
If an application is willing to accept packets with partial
coverage, it is expected to use the socekt option and provice
the minimum coverage it accepts.

The FreeBSD is the only system that has the FEC protocol, that is a simple alias
to loadbalance protocol and does not implement the ancient Cisco FEC standard.
From now on, we remove the fec protocol from the documentation and keep the FEC
code only for compatibility.

packets at all. Swapping byte order on SOCK_RAW was actually a bug, an
artifact from the BSD network stack, that used to convert a packet to
native byte order once it is received by kernel.
Other operating systems didn't follow this, and later other BSD
descendants fixed this, leaving us alone with the bug. Now it is
clear that we should fix the bug.
