Normally the socket buffers are static (either derived from global
defaults or set with setsockopt) and do not adapt to real network
conditions. Two things happen: a) your socket buffers are too small
and you can't reach the full potential of the network between both
hosts; b) your socket buffers are too big and you waste a lot of
kernel memory for data just sitting around.
With automatic TCP send and receive socket buffers we can start with a
small buffer and quickly grow it in parallel with the TCP congestion
window to match real network conditions.
FreeBSD has a default 32K send socket buffer. This supports a maximal
transfer rate of only slightly more than 2Mbit/s on a 100ms RTT
trans-continental link. Or at 200ms just above 1Mbit/s. With TCP send
buffer auto scaling and the default values below it supports 20Mbit/s
at 100ms and 10Mbit/s at 200ms. That's an improvement of factor 10, or
1000%. For the receive side it looks slightly better with a default of
64K buffer size.
New sysctls are:
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_auto=1 (enabled)
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_inc=8192 (8K, step size)
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=262144 (256K, growth limit)

If the error is EPERM the packet got blocked by the local firewall and the
revert may cause the session to get stuck and retry indefinitely. This way
we treat it like a packet loss and let the retransmit timer and timeouts
do their work over time.
The correct behavior is to drop a connection that gets an EPERM error.

- Remove a rwlock aquisition/release per generated syncookie. Locking
is now integrated with the bucket row locking of syncache itself and
syncookies no longer add any additional lock overhead.
- Syncookie secrets are different for and stored per syncache buck row.
Secrets expire after 16 seconds and are reseeded on-demand.
- The computational overhead for syncookie generation and verification
is one MD5 hash computation as before.
- Syncache can be turned off and run with syncookies only by setting the
sysctl net.inet.tcp.syncookies_only=1.
This implementation extends the orginal idea and first implementation
of FreeBSD by using not only the initial sequence number field to store
information but also the timestamp field if present. This way we can
keep track of the entire state we need to know to recreate the session in
its original form. Almost all TCP speakers implement RFC1323 timestamps
these days. For those that do not we still have to live with the known
shortcomings of the ISN only SYN cookies. The use of the timestamp field
causes the timestamps to be randomized if syncookies are enabled.
The idea of SYN cookies is to encode and include all necessary information
about the connection setup state within the SYN-ACK we send back and thus
to get along without keeping any local state until the ACK to the SYN-ACK
arrives (if ever). Everything we need to know should be available from
the information we encoded in the SYN-ACK.
A detailed description of the inner working of the syncookies mechanism
is included in the comments in tcp_syncache.c.

TSO is only used if we are in a pure bulk sending state. The presence of
TCP-MD5, SACK retransmits, SACK advertizements, IPSEC and IP options prevent
using TSO. With TSO the TCP header is the same (except for the sequence number)
for all generated packets. This makes it impossible to transmit any options
which vary per generated segment or packet.
The length of TSO bursts is limited to TCP_MAXWIN.
The sysctl net.inet.tcp.tso globally controls the use of TSO and is enabled.
TSO enabled sends originating from tcp_output() have the CSUM_TCP and CSUM_TSO
flags set, m_pkthdr.csum_data filled with the header pseudo-checksum and
m_pkthdr.tso_segsz set to the segment size (net payload size, not counting
IP+TCP headers or TCP options).

This is the first of two commits; bringing in the kernel support first.
This can be enabled by compiling a kernel with options TCP_SIGNATURE
and FAST_IPSEC.
For the uninitiated, this is a TCP option which provides for a means of
authenticating TCP sessions which came into being before IPSEC. It is
still relevant today, however, as it is used by many commercial router
vendors, particularly with BGP, and as such has become a requirement for
interconnect at many major Internet points of presence.
Several parts of the TCP and IP headers, including the segment payload,
are digested with MD5, including a shared secret. The PF_KEY interface
is used to manage the secrets using security associations in the SADB.
There is a limitation here in that as there is no way to map a TCP flow
per-port back to an SPI without polluting tcpcb or using the SPD; the
code to do the latter is unstable at this time. Therefore this code only
supports per-host keying granularity.
Whilst FAST_IPSEC is mutually exclusive with KAME IPSEC (and thus IPv6),
TCP_SIGNATURE applies only to IPv4. For the vast majority of prospective
users of this feature, this will not pose any problem.
This implementation is output-only; that is, the option is honoured when
responding to a host initiating a TCP session, but no effort is made
[yet] to authenticate inbound traffic. This is, however, sufficient to
interwork with Cisco equipment.
Tested with a Cisco 2501 running IOS 12.0(27), and Quagga 0.96.4 with
local patches. Patches for tcpdump to validate TCP-MD5 sessions are also

When this happens, we know for sure that the packet data was not
received by the peer. Therefore, back out any advancing of the
transmit sequence number so that we send the same data the next
time we transmit a packet, avoiding a guaranteed missed packet and
its resulting TCP transmit slowdown.
In most systems ip_output() probably never returns an error, and
so this problem is never seen. However, it is more likely to occur
with device drivers having short output queues (causing ENOBUFS to
be returned when they are full), not to mention low memory situations.
Moreover, because of this problem writers of slow devices were
required to make an unfortunate choice between (a) having a relatively
short output queue (with low latency but low TCP bandwidth because
of this problem) or (b) a long output queue (with high latency and
high TCP bandwidth). In my particular application (ISDN) it took
an output queue equal to ~5 seconds of transmission to avoid ENOBUFS.
A more reasonable output queue of 0.5 seconds resulted in only about
50% TCP throughput. With this patch full throughput was restored in
the latter case.
