others: start to populate the link-layer branch of the net mib, by
moving ARP to its proper place. (ARP is not a protocol family, it's an
interface layer between a medium-access layer and a protocol family.)
sysctl(8) needs to be taught about the structure of this branch, unless
Poul-Henning implements dynamic MIB exploration soon.
Add five sysctl variables that you should probably never tweak.
net.arp.t_prune: 300
net.arp.t_keep: 1200
net.arp.t_down: 20
net.arp.maxtries: 5
net.arp.useloopback: 1
net.arp.proxyall: 0
(It's net.arp because arp isn't limited to inet, though our present
implementation surely is).
we're at it, eliminate obsolete exposure of `struct llinfo_arp' to
the world. (This dates back to when ARP entries were not stored in
the routing table, and there was no other way for the `arp' program
to read the whole table than to grovel around in /dev/kmem.)
there may even be LKMs.) Also, change the internal name of `unixdomain'
to `localdomain' since AF_LOCAL is now the preferred name of this family.
Declare netisr correctly and in the right place.
a route. (This still doesn't work, but it doesn't panic now.) It looks
like there may be a number of incipient bugs in this code.
Also, get ready for the time when all IP gateway routes are cloning, which
is necessary to keep proper TCP statistics.
a FreeBSD box to do proxy ARP as easily as most commercial routers do,
without messing around with (potentially variable) Ethernet addresses.
This code is really quite simple; I'm not at all sure why it wasn't
implemented in 4.4.
It might be worth stealing an interface flag (maybe IFF_LINK1) to use for
finer-grained control over which interfaces get proxy treatment. For the
moment, it's all or nothing.
- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
