Quoting 19 years bpf.4 manual from bpf-1.2a1:
"
(SIOCGIFADDR is obsolete under BSD systems. SIOCGIFCONF should be
used to query link-level addresses.)
"
* SIOCGIFADDR was not imported in NetBSD (bpf.c 1.36) and OpenBSD.
* Last bits (e.g. manpage claiming SIOCGIFADDR exists) was cleaned
from NetBSD via kern/21513 5 years ago,
from OpenBSD via documentation/6352 5 years ago.
r273087. Move all checks from gif_output() into gif_transmit(). Previously
they were checked always, because if_start always called gif_output.
Now gif_transmit() can be called directly from if_bridge() code and we need
do checks here.

handle it in arc_output() instead of nd6_storelladdr().
* Remove IFT_ARCNET check from arpresolve() since arc_output() does not
use arpresolve() to handle broadcast/multicast. This check was there
since r84931. It looks like it was not used since r89099 (initial
import of Arcnet support where multicast is handled separately).
* Remove IFT_IEEE1394 case from nd6_storelladdr() since firewire_output()
calles nd6_storelladdr() for unicast addresses only.
* Remove IFT_ARCNET case from nd6_storelladdr() since arc_output() now
handles multicast by itself.
As a result, we have the following pattern: all non-ethernet-style
media have their own multicast map handling inside their appropriate
routines. On the other hand, arpresolve() (and nd6_storelladdr()) which
meant to be 'generic' ones de-facto handles ethernet-only multicast maps.

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

Update route MTU in case of ifnet MTU change.
Add new RTF_FIXEDMTU to track explicitly specified MTU.
Old behavior:
ifconfig em0 mtu 1500->9000 -> all routes traversing em0 do not change MTU.
User has to manually update all routes.
ifconfig em0 mtu 9000->1500 -> all routes traversing em0 do not change MTU.
However, if ip[6]_output finds route with rt_mtu > interface mtu, rt_mtu
gets updated.
New behavior:
ifconfig em0 mtu 1500->9000 -> all interface routes in all fibs gets updated
with new MTU unless RTF_FIXEDMTU flag set on them.
ifconfig em0 mtu 9000->1500 -> all routes in all fibs gets updated with new
MTU unless RTF_FIXEDMTU flag set on them AND rt_mtu is less than ifp mtu.
route add ... -mtu XXX automatically sets RTF_FIXEDMTU flag.
route change .. -mtu 0 automatically removes RTF_FIXEDMTU flag.

gcc requires variables to be initialised in two places. One of them
is correctly used only under the same conditional though.
For module builds properly check if the kernel supports INET or INET6,
as otherwise various mips kernels without IPv6 support would fail to build.
Split it into two modules: if_gre(4) for GRE encapsulation and
if_me(4) for minimal encapsulation within IP.
gre(4) changes:
* convert to if_transmit;
* rework locking: protect access to softc with rmlock,
protect from concurrent ioctls with sx lock;
* correct interface accounting for outgoing datagramms (count only payload size);
* implement generic support for using IPv6 as delivery header;
* make implementation conform to the RFC 2784 and partially to RFC 2890;
* add support for GRE checksums - calculate for outgoing datagramms and check
for inconming datagramms;
* add support for sending sequence number in GRE header;
* remove support of cached routes. This fixes problem, when gre(4) doesn't
work at system startup. But this also removes support for having tunnels with
the same addresses for inner and outer header.
* deprecate support for various GREXXX ioctls, that doesn't used in FreeBSD.
Use our standard ioctls for tunnels.
me(4):
* implementation conform to RFC 2004;
* use if_transmit;
* use the same locking model as gre(4);

Some virtual if drivers has (ab)used ifa ifa_rtrequest hook to enforce
route MTU to be not bigger that interface MTU. While ifa_rtrequest hooking
might be an option in some situation, it is not feasible to do MTU checks
there: generic (or per-domain) routing code is perfectly capable of doing
this.
We currrently have 3 places where MTU is altered:
1) route addition.
In this case domain overrides radix _addroute callback (in[6]_addroute)
and all necessary checks/fixes are/can be done there.
2) route change (especially, GW change).
In this case, there are no explicit per-domain calls, but one can
override rte by setting ifa_rtrequest hook to domain handler
(inet6 does this).
3) ifconfig ifaceX mtu YYYY
In this case, we have no callbacks, but ip[6]_output performes runtime
checks and decreases rt_mtu if necessary.
Generally, the goals are to be able to handle all MTU changes in
control plane, not in runtime part, and properly deal with increased
interface MTU.
This commit changes the following:
* removes hooks setting MTU from drivers side
* adds proper per-doman MTU checks for case 1)
* adds generic MTU check for case 2)
* The latter is done by using new dom_ifmtu callback since
if_mtu denotes L3 interface MTU, e.g. maximum trasmitted _packet_ size.
However, IPv6 mtu might be different from if_mtu one (e.g. default 1280)
for some cases, so we need an abstract way to know maximum MTU size
for given interface and domain.
* moves rt_setmetrics() before MTU/ifa_rtrequest hooks since it copies
user-supplied data which must be checked.
* removes RT_LOCK_ASSERT() from other ifa_rtrequest hooks to be able to
use this functions on new non-inserted rte.
More changes will follow soon.

This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.
Many thanks to Arthur Mesh who did early grunt work, and who got caught in the crossfire rather more than he deserved to.
My thanks also to folks who helped me thresh this out on whiteboards and in the odd "Hallway track", or otherwise.

vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.
