Small summary
-------------
o Almost all IPsec releated code was moved into sys/netipsec.
o New kernel modules added: ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko. New kernel
option IPSEC_SUPPORT added. It enables support for loading
and unloading of ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko kernel modules.
o IPSEC_NAT_T option was removed. Now NAT-T support is enabled by
default. The UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE encapsulation type
support was removed. Added TCP/UDP checksum handling for
inbound packets that were decapsulated by transport mode SAs.
setkey(8) modified to show run-time NAT-T configuration of SA.
o New network pseudo interface if_ipsec(4) added. For now it is
build as part of ipsec.ko module (or with IPSEC kernel).
It implements IPsec virtual tunnels to create route-based VPNs.
o The network stack now invokes IPsec functions using special
methods. The only one header file <netipsec/ipsec_support.h>
should be included to declare all the needed things to work
with IPsec.
o All IPsec protocols handlers (ESP/AH/IPCOMP protosw) were removed.
Now these protocols are handled directly via IPsec methods.
o TCP_SIGNATURE support was reworked to be more close to RFC.
o PF_KEY SADB was reworked:
- now all security associations stored in the single SPI namespace,
and all SAs MUST have unique SPI.
- several hash tables added to speed up lookups in SADB.
- SADB now uses rmlock to protect access, and concurrent threads
can do SA lookups in the same time.
- many PF_KEY message handlers were reworked to reflect changes
in SADB.
- SADB_UPDATE message was extended to support new PF_KEY headers:
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST. They
can be used by IKE daemon to change SA addresses.
o ipsecrequest and secpolicy structures were cardinally changed to
avoid locking protection for ipsecrequest. Now we support
only limited number (4) of bundled SAs, but they are supported
for both INET and INET6.
o INPCB security policy cache was introduced. Each PCB now caches
used security policies to avoid SP lookup for each packet.
o For inbound security policies added the mode, when the kernel does
check for full history of applied IPsec transforms.
o References counting rules for security policies and security
associations were changed. The proper SA locking added into xform
code.
o xform code was also changed. Now it is possible to unregister xforms.
tdb_xxx structures were changed and renamed to reflect changes in
SADB/SPDB, and changed rules for locking and refcounting.

alternate TCP stack in other then the closed state (pre-listen/connect).
The idea is that *if* that is supported by the alternate stack, it
is asked if its ok to switch. If it approves the "handoff" then we
allow the switch to happen. Also the fini() function now gets a flag
to tell if you are switching away *or* the tcb is destroyed. The
init() call into the alternate stack is moved to the end so the
tcb is more fully formed before the init transpires.

Remove net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10 which is now redundant. Also remove
the parent node net.inet.tcp.experimental as it's not needed anymore and also
because it was not well thought out.

Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP
from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel. Other features
introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes,
sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols) and are meant to
be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the
previous T/TCP functionality.
Discussed on: -arch
This is the first of two commits; bringing in the kernel support first.
This can be enabled by compiling a kernel with options TCP_SIGNATURE
and FAST_IPSEC.
For the uninitiated, this is a TCP option which provides for a means of
authenticating TCP sessions which came into being before IPSEC. It is
still relevant today, however, as it is used by many commercial router
vendors, particularly with BGP, and as such has become a requirement for
interconnect at many major Internet points of presence.
Several parts of the TCP and IP headers, including the segment payload,
are digested with MD5, including a shared secret. The PF_KEY interface
is used to manage the secrets using security associations in the SADB.
There is a limitation here in that as there is no way to map a TCP flow
per-port back to an SPI without polluting tcpcb or using the SPD; the
code to do the latter is unstable at this time. Therefore this code only
supports per-host keying granularity.
Whilst FAST_IPSEC is mutually exclusive with KAME IPSEC (and thus IPv6),
TCP_SIGNATURE applies only to IPv4. For the vast majority of prospective
users of this feature, this will not pose any problem.
This implementation is output-only; that is, the option is honoured when
responding to a host initiating a TCP session, but no effort is made
[yet] to authenticate inbound traffic. This is, however, sufficient to
interwork with Cisco equipment.
Tested with a Cisco 2501 running IOS 12.0(27), and Quagga 0.96.4 with
local patches. Patches for tcpdump to validate TCP-MD5 sessions are also
available from me upon request.
