Having the flag named "6" can possibly be a problem for configurations
where parsing strings and numbers can produce ambivalent results.
Rename the "6" flag to the "S"ix (or Silence-IPv4) flag.
This change defines the RA "6" (IPv6-Only) flag which routers
may advertise, kernel logic to check if all routers on a link
have the flag set and accordingly update a per-interface flag.
If all routers agree that it is an IPv6-only link, ether_output_frame(),
based on the interface flag, will filter out all ETHERTYPE_IP/ARP
frames, drop them, and return EAFNOSUPPORT to upper layers.
The change also updates ndp to show the "6" flag, ifconfig to
display the IPV6_ONLY nd6 flag if set, and rtadvd to allow
announcing the flag.
Further changes to tcpdump (contrib code) are availble and will
be upstreamed.
Tested the code (slightly earlier version) with 2 FreeBSD
IPv6 routers, a FreeBSD laptop on ethernet as well as wifi,
and with Win10 and OSX clients (which did not fall over with
the "6" flag set but not understood).
We may also want to (a) implement and RX filter, and (b) over
time enahnce user space to, say, stop dhclient from running
when the interface flag is set. Also we might want to start
IPv6 before IPv4 in the future.
All the code is hidden under the EXPERIMENTAL option and not
compiled by default as the draft is a work-in-progress and
we cannot rely on the fact that IANA will assign the bits
as requested by the draft and hence they may change.
Dear 6man, you have running code.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Before the change, things like lle state were queried via
SIOCGNBRINFO_IN6 by ndp(8) for _each_ lle entry in dump.
This ioctl was added in 1999, probably to avoid touching rtsock code.
This change maps SIOCGNBRINFO_IN6 data to standard rtsock dump the
following way:
expire (already) maps to rtm_rmx.rmx_expire
isrouter -> rtm_flags & RTF_GATEWAY
asked -> rtm_rmx.rmx_pksent
state -> rtm_rmx.rmx_state (maps to rmx_weight via define)

instead of old "ignore-and-return 0" in r287789. This broke arp -da /
ndp -cn behavior (they exit on rtsock command failure). Fix this by
translating LLE_IFADDR to RTM_PINNED flag, passing it to userland and
making arp/ndp ignore these entries in batched delete.

Since ARP and routing are separated, "proxy only" entries
don't have any meaning, thus we don't need additional field
in sockaddr to pass SIN_PROXY flag.
New kernel is binary compatible with old tools, since sizes
of sockaddr_inarp and sockaddr_in match, and sa_family are
filled with same value.
The structure declaration is left for compatibility with
third party software, but in tree code no longer use it.

- Convert a sysctl net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv to one for the
default value of a per-IF flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV, not a
global knob. The default value of the sysctl is 0.
- Add a new per-IF flag ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL and convert a
sysctl net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal to one for its default
value. The default value of the sysctl is 1.
- Make ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED more robust. It can be used to disable
IPv6 functionality of an interface now.
- Receiving RA is allowed if ip6_forwarding==0 *and*
ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV is set on that interface. The former
condition will be revisited later to support a "host + router" box
like IPv6 CPE router. The current behavior is compatible with
the older releases of FreeBSD.
- The ifconfig(8) now supports these ND6 flags as well as "nud",
"prefer_source", and "disabled" in ndp(8). The ndp(8) now
supports "auto_linklocal".

1. The "route" command allows route insertion through the interface-direct
option "-iface". During if_attach(), an sockaddr_dl{} entry is created
for the interface and is part of the interface address list. This
sockaddr_dl{} entry describes the interface in detail. The "route"
command selects this entry as the "gateway" object when the "-iface"
option is present. The "arp" and "ndp" commands also interact with the
kernel through the routing socket when adding and removing static L2
entries. The static L2 information is also provided through the
"gateway" object with an AF_LINK family type, similar to what is
provided by the "route" command. In order to differentiate between
these two types of operations, a RTF_LLDATA flag is introduced. This
flag is set by the "arp" and "ndp" commands when issuing the add and
delete commands. This flag is also set in each L2 entry returned by the
kernel. The "arp" and "ndp" command follows a convention where a RTM_GET
is issued first followed by a RTM_ADD/DELETE. This RTM_GET request fills
in the fields for a "rtm" object, which is reinjected into the kernel by
a subsequent RTM_ADD/DELETE command. The entry returend from RTM_GET
is a prefix route, so the RTF_LLDATA flag must be specified when issuing
the RTM_ADD/DELETE messages.
2. Enforce the convention that NET_RT_FLAGS with a 0 w_arg is the
specification for retrieving L2 information. Also optimized the
code logic.

3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
