a mbuf, it may return without setting any timers. If no more data is
scheduled to be transmitted (this was a FIN) the system will sit in
LAST_ACK state forever.
Thus, when mbuf allocation fails, set the retransmit timer if neither
the retransmit or persist timer is already pending.

at the same time.
When rfc1323 and rfc1644 option are enabled by sysctl,
and tcp over IPv6 is tried, kernel panic happens by the
following check in tcp_output(), because now hdrlen is bigger
in such case than before.
/*#ifdef DIAGNOSTIC*/
if (max_linkhdr + hdrlen > MHLEN)
panic("tcphdr too big");
/*#endif*/
So change the above check to compare with MCLBYTES in #ifdef INET6 case.
Also, allocate a mbuf cluster for the header mbuf, in that case.

-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
- eliminate the fast/slow timeout lists for TCP and instead use a
callout entry for each timer.
- increase the TCP timer granularity to HZ
- implement "bad retransmit" recovery, as presented in

the standard case by locking the MTU on a static route (including the
default route), this method doesn't work in the face of dynamic routing
protocols like gated.
flag means that there is more data to be put into the socket buffer.
Use it in TCP to reduce the interaction between mbuf sizes and the
Nagle algorithm.

fix for this problem.
`len = min(so->so_snd.sb_cc, win) - off;'. min() has type u_int
and `off' has type int, so when min() is 0 and `off' is 1, the RHS
overflows to 0U - 1 = UINT_MAX. `len' has type long, so when
sizeof(long) == sizeof(int), the LHS normally overflows to to the
correct value of -1, but when sizeof(long) > sizeof(int), the LHS
is UINT_MAX.
Fixed some u_long's that should have been fixed-sized types.

win = min(win, MAX_ALLOWED);
win = max(win, what_i_think_i_advertised_last_time);
so if what_i_think_i_advertised_last_time is bigger than can be
represented in the header (e.g. large buffers and no window scaling)
then we stuff a too-big number into a short. This fix reverses the
order of the comparisons.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

depending on the contents of our TAO cache. This decision has to be
made once when the connection starts. The earlier code delayed this
decision until the segment was assembled in tcp_output() and
retransmitted SYN segments could have different CC options.
