higher bandwidth interfaces. The new value is used above 2.5 Gbps,
which is the highest standard rate that could be used prior to
r338209, so the default behavior for all existing systems should
remain the same.
The value of 128 chosen is a balance between being big enough to
reduce potential precision/quantization effects stemming from frequent
bucket refills over small time intervals and being small enough to
prevent a greedy driver from burst dequeuing more packets than it has
available hardware ring slots for whenever altq transitions from idle
to backlogged.

2^32 bps or greater to be used. Prior to this, bandwidth parameters
would simply wrap at the 2^32 boundary. The computations in the HFSC
scheduler and token bucket regulator have been modified to operate
correctly up to at least 100 Gbps. No other algorithms have been
examined or modified for correct operation above 2^32 bps (some may
have existing computation resolution or overflow issues at rates below
that threshold). pfctl(8) will now limit non-HFSC bandwidth
parameters to 2^32 - 1 before passing them to the kernel.
The extensions to the pf(4) ioctl interface have been made in a
backwards-compatible way by versioning affected data structures,
supporting all versions in the kernel, and implementing macros that
will cause existing code that consumes that interface to use version 0
without source modifications. If version 0 consumers of the interface
are used against a new kernel that has had bandwidth parameters of
2^32 or greater configured by updated tools, such bandwidth parameters
will be reported as 2^32 - 1 bps by those old consumers.
All in-tree consumers of the pf(4) interface have been updated. To
update out-of-tree consumers to the latest version of the interface,
define PFIOC_USE_LATEST ahead of any includes and use the code of
pfctl(8) as a guide for the ioctls of interest.

CoDel is a parameterless queue discipline that handles variable bandwidth
and RTT.
It can be used as the single queue discipline on an interface or as a sub
discipline of existing queue disciplines such as PRIQ, CBQ, HFSC, FAIRQ.

slightly edited during the pf(4) SMP project. It is about to be edited
more in the projects/ifnet. Moving out of contrib also allows to remove
several hacks to the make glue.

INET6 socket when needed to allow pfctl to work on noinet and noinet6
kernels (and try to provide a fallback using AF_LINK as best effort).
Adjust the Makefile to also respect relevant src.conf(5) options
for compile time decisions on INET and INET6 support.

reside, and move there ipfw(4) and pf(4).
o Move most modified parts of pf out of contrib.
Actual movements:
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.c -> sys/netpfil/pf/
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.h -> sys/net/
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.c -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.h -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/pfctl.8 -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.4 -> share/man/man4
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.5 -> share/man/man5
sys/netinet/ipfw -> sys/netpfil/ipfw
The arguable movement is pf/net/*.h -> sys/net. There are
future plans to refactor pf includes, so I decided not to
break things twice.
Not modified bits of pf left in contrib: authpf, ftp-proxy,
tftp-proxy, pflogd.
The ipfw(4) movement is planned to be merged to stable/9,
to make head and stable match.
