were performed to determine if the received packet should be reset. This
created erroneous ratelimiting and false alarms in some cases. The code
has now been reorganized so that the checks for validity come before
the call to badport_bandlim. Additionally, a few changes in the symbolic
names of the bandlim types have been made, as well as a clarification of
exactly which type each RST case falls under.

1. ICMP ECHO and TSTAMP replies are now rate limited.
2. RSTs generated due to packets sent to open and unopen ports
are now limited by seperate counters.
3. Each rate limiting queue now has its own description, as
follows:
Limiting icmp unreach response from 439 to 200 packets per second
Limiting closed port RST response from 283 to 200 packets per second
Limiting open port RST response from 18724 to 200 packets per second
Limiting icmp ping response from 211 to 200 packets per second
Limiting icmp tstamp response from 394 to 200 packets per second

only be checked if the system is currently performing New Reno style
fast recovery. However, this value was being checked regardless of the
NR state, with the end result being that the congestion window was never
opened.
Change the logic to check t_dupack instead; the only code path that
allows it to be nonzero at this point is NewReno, so if it is nonzero,
we are in fast recovery mode and should not touch the congestion window.

This does not exhaust the routing table memory when the system
is under a SYN flood attack. The route entry is not deleted if there
is any prior information cached in it.

The algorithm can be toggled via the sysctl net.inet.tcp.newreno,

Now most big problem of IPv6 is getting IPv6 address
assignment.
6to4 solve the problem. 6to4 addr is defined like below,
2002: 4byte v4 addr : 2byte SLA ID : 8byte interface ID
The most important point of the address format is that an IPv4 addr
is embeded in it. So any user who has IPv4 addr can get IPv6 address
block with 2byte subnet space. Also, the IPv4 addr is used for
semi-automatic IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling.
With 6to4, getting IPv6 addr become dramatically easy.
The attached patch enable 6to4 extension, and confirmed to work,
between "Richard Seaman, Jr." <dick@tar.com> and me.

o Drop all broadcast and multicast source addresses in tcp_input.
o Enable ICMP_BANDLIM in GENERIC.
o Change default to 200/s from 100/s. This will still stop the attack, but
is conservative enough to do this close to code freeze.
This is not the optimal patch for the problem, but is likely the least
intrusive patch that can be made for this.

This confuses nmap -sF or -sX or -sN quite badly.

With these knobs on, refused connection attempts are dropped
without sending a RST, or Port unreachable in the UDP case.
In the TCP case, sending of RST is inhibited iff the incoming
segment was a SYN.

Add ICMP_BANDLIM option and 'net.inet.icmp.icmplim' sysctl. If option
is specified in kernel config, icmplim defaults to 100 pps. Setting it
to 0 will disable the feature. This feature limits ICMP error responses
for packets sent to bad tcp or udp ports, which does a lot to help the
machine handle network D.O.S. attacks.
The kernel will report packet rates that exceed the limit at a rate of
one kernel printf per second. There is one issue in regards to the
'tail end' of an attack... the kernel will not output the last report
until some unrelated and valid icmp error packet is return at some
point after the attack is over. This is a minor reporting issue only.
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!!!
