segments thinking it received only one segment. This causes it to enable
the delay the ACK for 100ms to wait for another segment which may never
come because all the data was received already.
Doing delayed ACK for LRO segments is bogus for two reasons: a) it pushes
us further away from acking every other packet; b) it introduces additional
delay in responding to the sender. The latter is especially bad because it
is in the nature of LRO to aggregated all segments of a burst with no more
coming until an ACK is sent back.
Change the delayed ACK logic to detect LRO segments by being larger than
the MSS for this connection and issuing an immediate ACK for them to keep
the ACK clock ticking without interruption.

Add a last-modified timestamp to each LRO entry and provide an interface
to flush all inactive entries. Drivers decide when to flush and what
the inactivity threshold should be.
Network drivers that process an rx queue to completion can enter a
livelock type situation when the rate at which packets are received
reaches equilibrium with the rate at which the rx thread is processing
them. When this happens the final LRO flush (normally when the rx
routine is done) does not occur. Pure ACKs and segments with total
payload < 64K can get stuck in an LRO entry. Symptoms are that TCP
tx-mostly connections' performance falls off a cliff during heavy,
unrelated rx on the interface.
Flushing only inactive LRO entries works better than any of these
alternates that I tried:
- don't LRO pure ACKs
- flush _all_ LRO entries periodically (every 'x' microseconds or every
'y' descriptors)
- stop rx processing in the driver periodically and schedule remaining
work for later.

features. The changes in particular are:
o Remove rarely used "header" pointer and replace it with a 64bit protocol/
layer specific union PH_loc for local use. Protocols can flexibly overlay
their own 8 to 64 bit fields to store information while the packet is
worked on.
o Mechanically convert IP reassembly, IGMP/MLD and ATM to use pkthdr.PH_loc
instead of pkthdr.header.
o Extend csum_flags to 64bits to allow for additional future offload
information to be carried (e.g. iSCSI, IPsec offload, and others).
o Move the RSS hash type enumerator from abusing m_flags to its own 8bit
rsstype field. Adjust accessor macros.
o Add cosqos field to store Class of Service / Quality of Service information
with the packet. It is not yet supported in any drivers but allows us to
get on par with Cisco/Juniper in routing applications (plus MPLS QoS) with
a modernized ALTQ.
o Add four 8 bit fields l[2-5]hlen to store the relative header offsets
from the start of the packet. This is important for various offload
capabilities and to relieve the drivers from having to parse the packet
and protocol headers to find out location of checksums and other
information. Header parsing in drivers is a lot of copy-paste and
unhandled corner cases which we want to avoid.
o Add another flexible 64bit union to map various additional persistent
packet information, like ether_vtag, tso_segsz and csum fields.
Depending on the csum_flags settings some fields may have different usage
making it very flexible and adaptable to future capabilities.
o Restructure the CSUM flags to better signify their outbound (down the
stack) and inbound (up the stack) use. The CSUM flags used to be a bit
chaotic and rather poorly documented leading to incorrect use in many
places. Bring clarity into their use through better naming.
Compatibility mappings are provided to preserve the API. The drivers
can be corrected one by one and MFC'd without issue.
o The size of pkthdr stays the same at 48/56bytes (32/64bit architectures).

information into the ISN (initial sequence number) without the additional
use of timestamp bits and switching to the very fast and cryptographically
strong SipHash-2-4 MAC hash algorithm to protect the SYN cookie against
forgeries.
The purpose of SYN cookies is to encode all necessary session state in
the 32 bits of our initial sequence number to avoid storing any information
locally in memory. This is especially important when under heavy spoofed
SYN attacks where we would either run out of memory or the syncache would
fill with bogus connection attempts swamping out legitimate connections.
The original SYN cookies method only stored an indexed MSS values in the
cookie. This isn't sufficient anymore and breaks down in the presence of
WSCALE information which is only exchanged during SYN and SYN-ACK. If we
can't keep track of it then we may severely underestimate the available
send or receive window. This is compounded with large windows whose size
information on the TCP segment header is even lower numerically. A number
of years back SYN cookies were extended to store the additional state in
the TCP timestamp fields, if available on a connection. While timestamps
are common among the BSD, Linux and other *nix systems Windows never enabled
them by default and thus are not present for the vast majority of clients
seen on the Internet.
The common parameters used on TCP sessions have changed quite a bit since
SYN cookies very invented some 17 years ago. Today we have a lot more
bandwidth available making the use window scaling almost mandatory. Also
SACK has become standard making recovering from packet loss much more
efficient.
This change moves all necessary information into the ISS removing the need
for timestamps. Both the MSS (16 bits) and send WSCALE (4 bits) are stored
in 3 bit indexed form together with a single bit for SACK. While this is
significantly less than the original range, it is sufficient to encode all
common values with minimal rounding.
The MSS depends on the MTU of the path and with the dominance of ethernet
the main value seen is around 1460 bytes. Encapsulations for DSL lines
and some other overheads reduce it by a few more bytes for many connections
seen. Rounding down to the next lower value in some cases isn't a problem
as we send only slightly more packets for the same amount of data.
The send WSCALE index is bit more tricky as rounding down under-estimates
the available send space available towards the remote host, however a small
number values dominate and are carefully selected again.
The receive WSCALE isn't encoded at all but recalculated based on the local
receive socket buffer size when a valid SYN cookie returns. A listen socket
buffer size is unlikely to change while active.
The index values for MSS and WSCALE are selected for minimal rounding errors
based on large traffic surveys. These values have to be periodically
validated against newer traffic surveys adjusting the arrays tcp_sc_msstab[]
and tcp_sc_wstab[] if necessary.
In addition the hash MAC to protect the SYN cookies is changed from MD5
to SipHash-2-4, a much faster and cryptographically secure algorithm.

dereferencing, when checking for SO_REUSEPORT option (and SO_REUSEADDR
for multicast), INP_REUSEPORT flag was introduced to cache the socket
option. It was decided then that one flag would be enough to cache
both SO_REUSEPORT and SO_REUSEADDR: when processing SO_REUSEADDR
setsockopt(2), it was checked if it was called for a multicast address
and INP_REUSEPORT was set accordingly.
Unfortunately that approach does not work when setsockopt(2) is called
before binding to a multicast address: the multicast check fails and
INP_REUSEPORT is not set.
Fix this by adding INP_REUSEADDR flag to unconditionally cache
SO_REUSEADDR.

paper "Revisiting TCP Congestion Control using Delay Gradients" by David Hayes
and Grenville Armitage. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the
modular congestion control framework.
CDG is a hybrid congestion control algorithm which reacts to both packet loss
and inferred queuing delay. It attempts to operate as a delay-based algorithm
where possible, but utilises heuristics to detect loss-based TCP cross traffic
and will compete effectively as required. CDG is therefore incrementally
deployable and suitable for use on shared networks.

Drivers can set ifp->if_hw_tsomax before calling ether_ifattach() to
change the limit.
The lowest allowable size is IP_MAXPACKET / 8 (8192 bytes) as anything
less wouldn't be very useful anymore. The upper limit is still at
IP_MAXPACKET (65536 bytes). Raising it requires further auditing of
the IPv4/v6 code path's as the length field in the IP header would
overflow leading to confusion in firewalls and others packet handler on
the real size of the packet.
The placement into "struct ifnet" is a bit hackish but the best place
that was found. When the stack/driver boundary is updated it should
