better recovery for multiple packet losses in a single window.
The algorithm can be toggled via the sysctl net.inet.tcp.newreno,
which defaults to "on".

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.

-opt_ipsec.h was missing on some tcp files (sorry for basic mistake)
-made buildable as above fix
-also added some missing IPv4 mapped IPv6 addr consideration into
ipsec4_getpolicybysock
pr_input() routines prototype is also changed to support IPSEC and IPV6

tcp.blackhole=1 - only drop SYN without RST
tcp.blackhole=2 - drop everything without RST
tcp.blackhole=0 - always send RST - default behaviour
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.

connect. This check was added as part of the defense against the "land"
attack, to prevent attacks which guess the ISS from going into ESTABLISHED.
The "src == dst" check will still prevent the single-homed case of the
"land" attack, and guessing ISS's should be hard anyway.

a hashed port list. In the new scheme, in_pcblookup() goes away and is
replaced by a new routine, in_pcblookup_local() for doing the local port
check. Note that this implementation is space inefficient in that the PCB
struct is now too large to fit into 128 bytes. I might deal with this in the
future by using the new zone allocator, but I wanted these changes to be
extensively tested in their current form first.
Also:
1) Fixed off-by-one errors in the port lookup loops in in_pcbbind().
2) Got rid of some unneeded rehashing. Adding a new routine, in_pcbinshash()
to do the initialial hash insertion.
3) Renamed in_pcblookuphash() to in_pcblookup_hash() for easier readability.
4) Added a new routine, in_pcbremlists() to remove the PCB from the various
hash lists.
5) Added/deleted comments where appropriate.
6) Removed unnecessary splnet() locking. In general, the PCB functions should
be called at splnet()...there are unfortunately a few exceptions, however.
7) Reorganized a few structs for better cache line behavior.
8) Killed my TCP_ACK_HACK kludge. It may come back in a different form in
the future, however.
These changes have been tested on wcarchive for more than a month. In tests
done here, connection establishment overhead is reduced by more than 50
times, thus getting rid of one of the major networking scalability problems.
Still to do: make tcp_fastimo/tcp_slowtimo scale well for systems with a
large number of connections. tcp_fastimo is easy; tcp_slowtimo is difficult.

rev 1.66. This fix contains both belt and suspenders.
Belt: ignore packets where src == dst and srcport == dstport in TCPS_LISTEN.
These packets can only legitimately occur when connecting a socket to itself,
which doesn't go through TCPS_LISTEN (it goes CLOSED->SYN_SENT->SYN_RCVD->
ESTABLISHED). This prevents the "standard" "land" attack, although doesn't
prevent the multi-homed variation.
Suspenders: send a RST in response to a SYN/ACK in SYN_RECEIVED state.
The only packets we should get in SYN_RECEIVED are
1. A retransmitted SYN, or
2. An ack of our SYN/ACK.
The "land" attack depends on us accepting our own SYN/ACK as an ACK;
in SYN_RECEIVED state; this should prevent all "land" attacks.
We also move up the sequence number check for the ACK in SYN_RECEIVED.
This neither helps nor hurts with respect to the "land" attack, but
puts more of the validation checking in one spot.

thus has the opposite effect of what was intended (which is to make the
