This macro was supposed to only match local IP addresses of

It seems a wide number of people think 32k buffers would not cause major
issues, and is in fact in use by many other OS's at this time. The
receive buffers can be bumped higher as buffers are hardly used and several
research papers indicate that receive buffers rarely use much space at all.

generation scheme. Users may now select between the currently used
OpenBSD algorithm and the older random positive increment method.
While the OpenBSD algorithm is more secure, it also breaks TIME_WAIT
handling; this is causing trouble for an increasing number of folks.
To switch between generation schemes, one sets the sysctl
net.inet.tcp.tcp_seq_genscheme. 0 = random positive increments,
1 = the OpenBSD algorithm. 1 is still the default.
Once a secure _and_ compatible algorithm is implemented, this sysctl
will be removed.

RTF_DYNAMIC route, it got freed twice). I am not sure what was
the actual problem in 1992, but the current behavior is memory
leak if PCB holds a reference to a dynamically created/modified
routing table entry. (rt_refcnt>0 and we don't call rtfree().)
My test bed was:
1. Set net.inet.tcp.msl to a low value (for test purposes), e.g.,
5 seconds, to speed up the transition of TCP connection to a
"closed" state.
2. Add a network route which causes ICMP redirect from the gateway.
3. ping(8) host H that matches this route; this creates RTF_DYNAMIC
RTF_HOST route to H. (I was forced to use ICMP to cause gateway
to generate ICMP host redirect, because gateway in question is a
4.2-STABLE system vulnerable to a problem that was fixed later in
ip_icmp.c,v 1.39.2.6, and TCP packets with DF bit set were
triggering this bug.)
4. telnet(1) to H
5. Block access to H with ipfw(8)
6. Send something in telnet(1) session; this causes EPERM, followed
by an in_losing() call in a few seconds.
7. Delete ipfw(8) rule blocking access to H, and wait for TCP
connection moving to a CLOSED state; PCB is freed.
8. Delete host route to H.
9. Watch with netstat(1) that `rttrash' increased.
10. Repeat steps 3-9, and watch `rttrash' increases.

around, use a common function for looking up and extracting the tunables
from the kernel environment. This saves duplicating the same function
over and over again. This way typically has an overhead of 8 bytes + the
path string, versus about 26 bytes + the path string.
One way we can reduce the amount of traffic we send in response to a SYN
flood is to eliminate the RST we send when removing a connection from
the listen queue. Since we are being flooded, we can assume that the
majority of connections in the queue are bogus. Our RST is unwanted
by these hosts, just as our SYN-ACK was. Genuine connection attempts
will result in hosts responding to our SYN-ACK with an ACK packet. We
will automatically return a RST response to their ACK when it gets to us
if the connection has been dropped, so the early RST doesn't serve the
genuine class of connections much. In summary, we can reduce the number
of packets we send by a factor of two without any loss in functionality
by ensuring that RST packets are not sent when dropping a connection
from the listen queue.

A attacker sending a lot of bogus fragmented packets to the target
(with different IPv4 identification field - ip_id), may be able
to put the target machine into mbuf starvation state.
By setting a upper limit on the number of reassembly queues we
prevent this situation.
This upper limit is controlled by the new sysctl
net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets which defaults to 200,
as the IPv6 case, this should be sufficient for most
systmes, but you might want to increase it if you have
lots of TCP sessions.
I'm working on making the default value dependent on
nmbclusters.
If you want old behaviour (no upper limit) set this sysctl
to a negative value.
If you don't want to accept any fragments (not recommended)
set the sysctl to 0 (zero).

This closes a minor information leak which allows a remote observer to
determine the rate at which the machine is generating packets, since the
