the limit in bytes) hard coded into both the kernel and userland.
Make both these limits a sysctl, so it is easy to change the limit.
If the userland part of ipfw finds that the sysctls don't exist,
it will just fall back to the traditional limits.
(100 packets is quite a small limit these days. If you want to test
TCP at 100Mbps, 100 packets can only accommodate a DBP of 12ms.)
Note these sysctls in the man page and warn against increasing them
without thinking first.

If it is set to zero value (default) dummynet module will try to emulate
real link as close as possible (bandwidth & latency): packet will not leave
pipe faster than it should be on real link with given bandwidth.
(This is original behaviour of dummynet which was altered in previous commit)
If it is set to non-zero value only bandwidth is enforced: packet's latency
can be lower comparing to real link with given bandwidth.

2) Alter packet flow inside dummynet: allow certain packets to bypass
dummynet scheduler. Benefits are:
- lower latency: if packet flow does not exceed pipe bandwidth, packets
will not be (up to tick) delayed (due to dummynet's scheduler granularity).
- lower overhead: if packet avoids dummynet scheduler it shouldn't reenter ip
stack later. Such packets can be fastforwarded.
- recursion (which can lead to kernel stack exhaution) eliminated. This fix
long existed panic, which can be triggered this way:
kldload dummynet
sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 0
for i in `jot 30`; do ipfw add 1 pipe 1 icmp from any to any; done
ping -c 1 localhost
3) Three new sysctl nodes are added:
net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt - packets passed to dummynet
net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt_fast - packets avoided dummynet scheduler
net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt_drop - packets dropped by dummynet
P.S. Above comments are true only for layer 3 packets. Layer 2 packet flow
is not changed yet.

store some pipe pointers on stack. If user reconfigures dummynet
in the interlock gap, we can work with freed pipes after relock.
To fix this, we decided not to send packets in transmit_event(),
but fill a queue. At the end of dummynet() and dummynet_io(),
after the lock is dropped, if there is something in the queue
we run dummynet_send() to process the queue.

On a system with huge number of pipes, M_NOWAIT failes almost always,
because of memory fragmentation.
My fix is different than the patch proposed by Pawel Malachowski,
because in FreeBSD 5.x we cannot sleep while holding dummynet mutex
(in 4.x there is no such lock).
My fix is also ugly, but there is no easy way to prepare nice and clean fix.

and preserves the ipfw ABI. The ipfw core packet inspection and filtering
functions have not been changed, only how ipfw is invoked is different.
However there are many changes how ipfw is and its add-on's are handled:
In general ipfw is now called through the PFIL_HOOKS and most associated
magic, that was in ip_input() or ip_output() previously, is now done in
ipfw_check_[in|out]() in the ipfw PFIL handler.
IPDIVERT is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers. A packet to
be diverted is checked if it is fragmented, if yes, ip_reass() gets in for
reassembly. If not, or all fragments arrived and the packet is complete,
divert_packet is called directly. For 'tee' no reassembly attempt is made
and a copy of the packet is sent to the divert socket unmodified. The
original packet continues its way through ip_input/output().
ipfw 'forward' is done via m_tag's. The ipfw PFIL handlers tag the packet
with the new destination sockaddr_in. A check if the new destination is a
local IP address is made and the m_flags are set appropriately. ip_input()
and ip_output() have some more work to do here. For ip_input() the m_flags
are checked and a packet for us is directly sent to the 'ours' section for
further processing. Destination changes on the input path are only tagged
and the 'srcrt' flag to ip_forward() is set to disable destination checks
and ICMP replies at this stage. The tag is going to be handled on output.
ip_output() again checks for m_flags and the 'ours' tag. If found, the
packet will be dropped back to the IP netisr where it is going to be picked
up by ip_input() again and the directly sent to the 'ours' section. When
only the destination changes, the route's 'dst' is overwritten with the
new destination from the forward m_tag. Then it jumps back at the route
lookup again and skips the firewall check because it has been marked with
M_SKIP_FIREWALL. ipfw 'forward' has to be compiled into the kernel with
'option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD' to enable it.
DUMMYNET is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers. A packet for
a dummynet pipe or queue is directly sent to dummynet_io(). Dummynet will
then inject it back into ip_input/ip_output() after it has served its time.
Dummynet packets are tagged and will continue from the next rule when they
hit the ipfw PFIL handlers again after re-injection.
BRIDGING and IPFW_ETHER are not changed yet and use ipfw_chk() directly as
they did before. Later this will be changed to dedicated ETHER PFIL_HOOKS.
More detailed changes to the code:
conf/files
Add netinet/ip_fw_pfil.c.
conf/options
Add IPFIREWALL_FORWARD option.
modules/ipfw/Makefile
Add ip_fw_pfil.c.
net/bridge.c
Disable PFIL_HOOKS if ipfw for bridging is active. Bridging ipfw
is still directly invoked to handle layer2 headers and packets would
get a double ipfw when run through PFIL_HOOKS as well.
netinet/ip_divert.c
Removed divert_clone() function. It is no longer used.
netinet/ip_dummynet.[ch]
Neither the route 'ro' nor the destination 'dst' need to be stored
while in dummynet transit. Structure members and associated macros
are removed.
netinet/ip_fastfwd.c
Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
'ipfw forward' handling code.
netinet/ip_fw.h
Removed 'ro' and 'dst' from struct ip_fw_args.
netinet/ip_fw2.c
(Re)moved some global variables and the module handling.
netinet/ip_fw_pfil.c
New file containing the ipfw PFIL handlers and module initialization.
netinet/ip_input.c
Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
'ipfw forward' handling code. ip_forward() does not longer require
the 'next_hop' struct sockaddr_in argument. Disable early checks
if 'srcrt' is set.
netinet/ip_output.c
Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
'ipfw forward' handling code.
netinet/ip_var.h
Add ip_reass() as general function. (Used from ipfw PFIL handlers

Rework the 'ipfw forward' to local code to work with the new way of
forward tags.
netinet/tcp_sack.c
