With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

kernel module. LibAlias is not aware about checksum offloading,
so the caller should provide checksum calculation. (The only
current consumer is ng_nat(4)). When TCP packet internals has
been changed and it requires checksum recalculation, a cookie
is set in th_x2 field of TCP packet, to inform caller that it
needs to recalculate checksum. This ugly hack would be removed
when LibAlias is made more kernel friendly.
Incremental checksum updates are left as is, since they don't
conflict with offloading.

libalias.
In /usr/src/lib/libalias/alias.c, the functions LibAliasIn and
LibAliasOutTry call the legacy PacketAliasIn/PacketAliasOut instead
of LibAliasIn/LibAliasOut when the PKT_ALIAS_REVERSE option is set.
In this case, the context variable "la" gets lost because the legacy
compatibility routines expect "la" to be global. This was obviously
an oversight when rewriting the PacketAlias* functions to the
LibAlias* functions.
The fix (as shown in the patch below) is to remove the legacy
subroutine calls and replace with the new ones using the "la" struct
as the first arg.

Makes it possible to have multiple packet aliasing instances in a
single process by moving all static and global variables into an
instance structure called "struct libalias".
Redefine a new API based on s/PacketAlias/LibAlias/g
Add new "instance" argument to all functions in the new API.
Implement old API in terms of the new API.
Skinny is the protocol used by Cisco IP phones to talk to Cisco Call
Managers. With this code, one can use a Cisco IP phone behind a FreeBSD
NAT gateway.
Currently, having the Call Manager behind the NAT gateway is not supported.
More information on enabling Skinny support in libalias, natd, and ppp
can be found in those applications' manpages.
