net.inet.ip.icmp.bmcastecho = 0 by removing the extra check for the
address being a multicast address. The test now relies on the link
layer flags that indicate it was received via multicast. The previous
logic was broken and replied to ICMP echo/timestamp broadcasts even
when the sysctl option disallowed them.

Prior to this change, Accidental recursion protection was done by
the diverted daemon feeding back the divert port number it got
the packet on, as the port number on a sendto(). IPFW knew not to
redivert a packet to this port (again). Processing of the ruleset
started at the beginning again, skipping that divert port.
The new semantic (which is how we should have done it the first time)
is that the port number in the sendto() is the rule number AFTER which
processing should restart, and on a recvfrom(), the port number is the
rule number which caused the diversion. This is much more flexible,
and also more intuitive. If the user uses the same sockaddr received
when resending, processing resumes at the rule number following that
that caused the diversion. The user can however select to resume rule
processing at any rule. (0 is restart at the beginning)
To enable the new code use
option IPFW_DIVERT_RESTART
This should become the default as soon as people have looked at it a bit
passed to the user process for incoming packets. When the sockaddr_in
is passed back to the divert socket later, use thi sas the primary
interface lookup and only revert to the IP address when the name fails.
This solves a long standing bug with divert sockets:
When two interfaces had the same address (P2P for example) the interface
"assigned" to the reinjected packet was sometimes incorect.
Probably we should define a "sockaddr_div" to officially hold this
extended information in teh same manner as sockaddr_dl.

I'm not sure who to give the credit to, but the bug was reported by
Jennifer Dawn Myers <jdm@enteract.com>, who also supplied a patch. It
was also fixed in OpenBSD previously by andreas.gunnarsson@emw.ericsson.se,
and of course I did the homework to verify that the fix was correct per

NetBSD, ported to FreeBSD by Pierre Beyssac <pb@fasterix.freenix.org> and
minorly tweaked by me.
This is a standard part of FreeBSD, but must be enabled with:
"sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1" ...and of course forwarding must
also be enabled. This should probably be modified to use the zone
allocator for speed and space efficiency. The current algorithm also
appears to lose if the number of active paths exceeds IPFLOW_MAX (256),
in which case it wastes lots of time trying to figure out which cache
entry to drop.
Define a parameter which indicates the maximum number of sockets in a
system, and use this to size the zone allocators used for sockets and
for certain PCBs.
Convert PF_LOCAL PCB structures to be type-stable and add a version number.
Define an external format for infomation about socket structures and use
it in several places.
Define a mechanism to get all PF_LOCAL and PF_INET PCB lists through
sysctl(3) without blocking network interrupts for an unreasonable
length of time. This probably still has some bugs and/or race
conditions, but it seems to work well enough on my machines.
It is now possible for `netstat' to get almost all of its information
via the sysctl(3) interface rather than reading kmem (changes to follow).

Make callers of namei() responsible for releasing references or locks
instead of having the underlying filesystems do it. This eliminates
redundancy in all terminal filesystems and makes it possible for stacked
transport layers such as umapfs or nullfs to operate correctly.
Quality testing was done with testvn, and lat_fs from the lmbench suite.

vop_mknod and vop_symlink still release the returned vpp. vop_rename
still releases 4 vnode arguments before it returns. These remaining cases
will be corrected in the next set of patches.
