my tests, it is faster ~20%, even on an old IXP425 533MHz it is ~45%
faster... This is partly due to loop unrolling, so the code size does
significantly increase... I do plan on committing a version that
rolls up the loops again for smaller code size for embedded systems
where size is more important than absolute performance (it'll save ~6k
code)...
The kernel implementation is now shared w/ userland's libcrypt and
libmd...
We drop support for sha256 from sha2.c, so now sha2.c only contains

linking NIC Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to the network stack's
connection-group implementation. This prototype (and derived patches)
are in use at Juniper and several other FreeBSD-using companies, so
despite some reservations about its maturity, merge the patch to the
base tree so that it can be iteratively refined in collaboration rather
than maintained as a set of gradually diverging patch sets.
(1) Merge a software implementation of the Toeplitz hash specified in
RSS implemented by David Malone. This is used to allow suitable
pcbgroup placement of connections before the first packet is
received from the NIC. Software hashing is generally avoided,
however, due to high cost of the hash on general-purpose CPUs.
(2) In in_rss.c, maintain authoritative versions of RSS state intended
to be pushed to each NIC, including keying material, hash
algorithm/ configuration, and buckets. Provide software-facing
interfaces to hash 2- and 4-tuples for IPv4 and IPv6 using both
the RSS standardised Toeplitz and a 'naive' variation with a hash
efficient in software but with poor distribution properties.
Implement rss_m2cpuid()to be used by netisr and other load
balancing code to look up the CPU on which an mbuf should be
processed.
(3) In the Ethernet link layer, allow netisr distribution using RSS as
a source of policy as an alternative to source ordering; continue
to default to direct dispatch (i.e., don't try and requeue packets
for processing on the 'right' CPU if they arrive in a directly
dispatchable context).
(4) Allow RSS to control tuning of connection groups in order to align
groups with RSS buckets. If a packet arrives on a protocol using
connection groups, and contains a suitable hardware-generated
hash, use that hash value to select the connection group for pcb
lookup for both IPv4 and IPv6. If no hardware-generated Toeplitz
hash is available, we fall back on regular PCB lookup risking
contention rather than pay the cost of Toeplitz in software --
this is a less scalable but, at my last measurement, faster
approach. As core counts go up, we may want to revise this
strategy despite CPU overhead.
Where device drivers suitably configure NICs, and connection groups /
RSS are enabled, this should avoid both lock and line contention during
connection lookup for TCP. This commit does not modify any device
drivers to tune device RSS configuration to the global RSS
configuration; patches are in circulation to do this for at least
Chelsio T3 and Intel 1G/10G drivers. Currently, the KPI for device
drivers is not particularly robust, nor aware of more advanced features
such as runtime reconfiguration/rebalancing. This will hopefully prove
a useful starting point for refinement.
No MFC is scheduled as we will first want to nail down a more mature
and maintainable KPI/KBI for device drivers.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

(1) Invoke cpp to bring in files via #include (although the old

(5) switch back to gpl dtc by default. the bsdl one in the tree has

This is (almost!) enough to actually probe, attach, configure a default
port group and do some basic work. It's also totally hard-coded for
the Qualcomm Atheros DB120 board - it doesn't yet have any of the code
from OpenWRT which parses extra configuration data to know how to program
the switch. The LED stuff is also missing.
But, it's enough to facilitate board, PHY, switch and VLAN bringup,
so I am committing it now.

- netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving
100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels
(no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said
*moving* not *processing*);
- kqueue support (BHyVe needs it);
- improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC,
host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues.
The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature.
- optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications
that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies.
- segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs.
and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements.
My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial
amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks.
There are some external repositories that can be of interest:
https://code.google.com/p/netmap
our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including
linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here,
such as python bindings.
https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap
a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support.
With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap
feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter
packets at 10-15 Mpps.
https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw
a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap
to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps
range per core for simple rulesets.
Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some
point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them.
And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better
than the version currently in 10 and 9.
