In protosw we define pr_protocol as short, while on the wire
it is an uint8_t. That way we can have "internal" protocols
like DIVERT, SEND or gaps for modules (PROTO_SPACER).
Switch ipproto_{un,}register to accept a short protocol number(*)
and do an upfront check for valid boundries. With this we
also consistently report EPROTONOSUPPORT for out of bounds
protocols, as we did for proto == 0. This allows a caller
to not error for this case, which is especially important
if we want to automatically call these from domain handling.
(*) the functions have been without any in-tree consumer
since the initial introducation, so this is considered save.
Implement ip6proto_{un,}register() similarly to their legacy IP
counter parts to allow modules to hook up dynamically.

Add kernel side support for Secure Neighbor Discovery (SeND), RFC 3971.
The implementation consists of a kernel module that gets packets from
the nd6 code, sends them to user space on a dedicated socket and reinjects
them back for further processing.
Hooks are used from nd6 code paths to divert relevant packets to the
send implementation for processing in user space. The hooks are only
triggered if the send module is loaded. In case no user space
application is connected to the send socket, processing continues
normaly as if the module would not be loaded. Unloading the module
is not possible at this time due to missing nd6 locking.
The native SeND socket is similar to a raw IPv6 socket but with its own,
internal pseudo-protocol.

it must reset its congestion window back to the initial window.
RFC3390 has increased the initial window from 1 segment to up to
4 segments.
The initial window increase of RFC3390 wasn't reflected into the
restart window which remained at its original defaults of 4 segments
for local and 1 segment for all other connections. Both values are
controllable through sysctl net.inet.tcp.local_slowstart_flightsize
and net.inet.tcp.slowstart_flightsize.
The increase helps TCP's slow start algorithm to open up the congestion
window much faster.

Both sysctl's share the same backend infrastructure and due to the

The log output backend is kept the same but a little shim is inserted

path MTU discovery and the tcp_minmss limiter for very small MTU's.
When the MTU suggested by the gateway via ICMP, or if there isn't
any the next smaller step from ip_next_mtu(), is lower than the
floor enforced by net.inet.tcp.minmss (default 216) the value is
ignored and the default MSS (512) is used instead. However the
DF flag in the IP header is still set in tcp_output() preventing
fragmentation by the gateway.
Fix this by using tcp_minmss as the MSS and clear the DF flag if
the suggested MTU is too low. This turns off path MTU dissovery
for the remainder of the session and allows fragmentation to be
done by the gateway.
Only MTU's smaller than 256 are affected. The smallest official
MTU specified is for AX.25 packet radio at 256 octets.

It was experimental and interferes with the normal congestion control
algorithms by instating a separate, possibly lower, ceiling for the
amount of data that is in flight to the remote host. With high speed
internet connections the inflight limit frequently has been estimated
too low due to the noisy nature of the RTT measurements.
This code gives way for the upcoming pluggable congestion control
framework. It is the task of the congestion control algorithm to
set the congestion window and amount of inflight data without external
interference.

interface goes to issue LINK_UP, then LINK_DOWN, then LINK_UP at
cold boot. This behavior is not observed when carp(4) interface
is created slightly later, when the underlying interface is fully
up.
Before this change what happen at boot is roughly:
- ifconfig creates em0 interface;
- ifconfig clones a carp device using em0;
(em0's link state is DOWN at this point)
- carp state: INIT -> BACKUP [*]
- carp state: BACKUP -> MASTER
- [Some negotiate between em0 and switch]
- em0 kicks up link state change event
(em0's link state is now up DOWN at this point)
- do_link_state_change() -> carp_carpdev_state()
- carp state: MASTER -> INIT (via carp_set_state(sc, INIT)) [+]
- carp state: INIT -> BACKUP
- carp state: BACKUP -> MASTER
At the [*] stage, em0 did not received any broadcast message from other
node, and assume our node is the master, thus carp(4) sets the link
state to "UP" after becoming a master. At [+], the master status
is forcely set to "INIT", then an election is casted, after which our
node would actually become a master.
We believe that at the [*] stage, the master status should remain as
"INIT" since the underlying parent interface's link state is not up.

interface as they have to be there unless we freed and forgot
to cancel the timer. It doesn't matter anyway as we would
panic on the NULL pointer deref immediately and the bug is
elsewhere.

Due to this the opportunity to initialize the increased congestion window
according to RFC3390 was missed.
Support for RFC3465 introduced in r187289 uncovered the bug as the ACK
to SYN/ACK no longer caused snd_cwnd increase by MSS (actually, this
increase shouldn't happen as it's explicitly forbidden by RFC3390, but
it's another issue). Snd_cwnd remains really small (1*MSS + 1) and this
causes really bad interaction with delayed acks on other side.
The variable name sc_rxmits is a bit misleading as it counts all transmits,
not just retransmits.
