fields between host and network byte order. The details:
o icmp_error() now does not add IP header length. This fixes the problem
when icmp_error() is called from ip_forward(). In this case the ip_len
of the original IP datagram returned with ICMP error was wrong.
o icmp_error() expects all three fields, ip_len, ip_id and ip_off in host
byte order, so DTRT and convert these fields back to network byte order
before sending a message. This fixes the problem described in PR 16240
and PR 20877 (ip_id field was returned in host byte order).
o ip_ttl decrement operation in ip_forward() was moved down to make sure
that it does not corrupt the copy of original IP datagram passed later
to icmp_error().
o A copy of original IP datagram in ip_forward() was made a read-write,
independent copy. This fixes the problem I first reported to Garrett
Wollman and Bill Fenner and later put in audit trail of PR 16240:
ip_output() (not always) converts fields of original datagram to network
byte order, but because copy (mcopy) and its original (m) most likely
share the same mbuf cluster, ip_output()'s manipulations on original
also corrupted the copy.
o ip_output() now expects all three fields, ip_len, ip_off and (what is
significant) ip_id in host byte order. It was a headache for years that
ip_id was handled differently. The only compatibility issue here is the
raw IP socket interface with IP_HDRINCL socket option set and a non-zero
ip_id field, but ip.4 manual page was unclear on whether in this case
ip_id field should be in host or network byte order.
not alias `ip_src' unless it comes from the host an original
datagram that triggered this error message was destined for.

When this happens, we know for sure that the packet data was not
received by the peer. Therefore, back out any advancing of the
transmit sequence number so that we send the same data the next
time we transmit a packet, avoiding a guaranteed missed packet and
its resulting TCP transmit slowdown.
In most systems ip_output() probably never returns an error, and
so this problem is never seen. However, it is more likely to occur
with device drivers having short output queues (causing ENOBUFS to
be returned when they are full), not to mention low memory situations.
Moreover, because of this problem writers of slow devices were
required to make an unfortunate choice between (a) having a relatively
short output queue (with low latency but low TCP bandwidth because
of this problem) or (b) a long output queue (with high latency and
high TCP bandwidth). In my particular application (ISDN) it took
an output queue equal to ~5 seconds of transmission to avoid ENOBUFS.
A more reasonable output queue of 0.5 seconds resulted in only about
50% TCP throughput. With this patch full throughput was restored in
the latter case.

- Multiple PPTP clients behind NAT to the same or different servers.
- Single PPTP server behind NAT -- you just need to redirect TCP
port 1723 to a local machine. Multiple servers behind NAT is
possible but would require a simple API change.
- No API changes!
For more information on how this works see comments at the start of
the alias_pptp.c.
PacketAliasPptp() is no longer necessary and will be removed soon.

Thus, when mbuf allocation fails, set the retransmit timer if neither
the retransmit or persist timer is already pending.
