duplicated sockets a multicast address is bound and either
SO_REUSEPORT or SO_REUSEADDR is set.
But actually it works for the following combinations:
* SO_REUSEPORT is set for the fist socket and SO_REUSEPORT for the new;
* SO_REUSEADDR is set for the fist socket and SO_REUSEADDR for the new;
* SO_REUSEPORT is set for the fist socket and SO_REUSEADDR for the new;
and fails for this:
* SO_REUSEADDR is set for the fist socket and SO_REUSEPORT for the new.
Fix the last case.

information into the ISN (initial sequence number) without the additional
use of timestamp bits and switching to the very fast and cryptographically
strong SipHash-2-4 MAC hash algorithm to protect the SYN cookie against
forgeries.
The purpose of SYN cookies is to encode all necessary session state in
the 32 bits of our initial sequence number to avoid storing any information
locally in memory. This is especially important when under heavy spoofed
SYN attacks where we would either run out of memory or the syncache would
fill with bogus connection attempts swamping out legitimate connections.
The original SYN cookies method only stored an indexed MSS values in the
cookie. This isn't sufficient anymore and breaks down in the presence of
WSCALE information which is only exchanged during SYN and SYN-ACK. If we
can't keep track of it then we may severely underestimate the available
send or receive window. This is compounded with large windows whose size
information on the TCP segment header is even lower numerically. A number
of years back SYN cookies were extended to store the additional state in
the TCP timestamp fields, if available on a connection. While timestamps
are common among the BSD, Linux and other *nix systems Windows never enabled
them by default and thus are not present for the vast majority of clients
seen on the Internet.
The common parameters used on TCP sessions have changed quite a bit since
SYN cookies very invented some 17 years ago. Today we have a lot more
bandwidth available making the use window scaling almost mandatory. Also
SACK has become standard making recovering from packet loss much more
efficient.
This change moves all necessary information into the ISS removing the need
for timestamps. Both the MSS (16 bits) and send WSCALE (4 bits) are stored
in 3 bit indexed form together with a single bit for SACK. While this is
significantly less than the original range, it is sufficient to encode all
common values with minimal rounding.
The MSS depends on the MTU of the path and with the dominance of ethernet
the main value seen is around 1460 bytes. Encapsulations for DSL lines
and some other overheads reduce it by a few more bytes for many connections
seen. Rounding down to the next lower value in some cases isn't a problem
as we send only slightly more packets for the same amount of data.
The send WSCALE index is bit more tricky as rounding down under-estimates
the available send space available towards the remote host, however a small
number values dominate and are carefully selected again.
The receive WSCALE isn't encoded at all but recalculated based on the local
receive socket buffer size when a valid SYN cookie returns. A listen socket
buffer size is unlikely to change while active.
The index values for MSS and WSCALE are selected for minimal rounding errors
based on large traffic surveys. These values have to be periodically
validated against newer traffic surveys adjusting the arrays tcp_sc_msstab[]
and tcp_sc_wstab[] if necessary.
In addition the hash MAC to protect the SYN cookies is changed from MD5
to SipHash-2-4, a much faster and cryptographically secure algorithm.

dereferencing, when checking for SO_REUSEPORT option (and SO_REUSEADDR
for multicast), INP_REUSEPORT flag was introduced to cache the socket
option. It was decided then that one flag would be enough to cache
both SO_REUSEPORT and SO_REUSEADDR: when processing SO_REUSEADDR
setsockopt(2), it was checked if it was called for a multicast address
and INP_REUSEPORT was set accordingly.
Unfortunately that approach does not work when setsockopt(2) is called
before binding to a multicast address: the multicast check fails and
INP_REUSEPORT is not set.
Fix this by adding INP_REUSEADDR flag to unconditionally cache
SO_REUSEADDR.

algorithm, which is based on the 2011 v0.1 patch release and described in the
paper "Revisiting TCP Congestion Control using Delay Gradients" by David Hayes
and Grenville Armitage. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the
modular congestion control framework.
CDG is a hybrid congestion control algorithm which reacts to both packet loss
and inferred queuing delay. It attempts to operate as a delay-based algorithm
where possible, but utilises heuristics to detect loss-based TCP cross traffic
and will compete effectively as required. CDG is therefore incrementally
deployable and suitable for use on shared networks.

limited in the amount of data they can handle at once.
Drivers can set ifp->if_hw_tsomax before calling ether_ifattach() to
change the limit.
The lowest allowable size is IP_MAXPACKET / 8 (8192 bytes) as anything
less wouldn't be very useful anymore. The upper limit is still at
IP_MAXPACKET (65536 bytes). Raising it requires further auditing of
the IPv4/v6 code path's as the length field in the IP header would
overflow leading to confusion in firewalls and others packet handler on
the real size of the packet.
The placement into "struct ifnet" is a bit hackish but the best place
that was found. When the stack/driver boundary is updated it should
be handled in a better way.

Address. Although KAME implementation used FF02:0:0:0:0:2::/96 based on
older versions of draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-name-lookup, it has been changed
in RFC 4620.
The kernel always joins the /104-prefixed address, and additionally does
/96-prefixed one only when net.inet6.icmp6.nodeinfo_oldmcprefix=1.
The default value of the sysctl is 1.
ping6(8) -N flag now uses /104-prefixed one. When this flag is specified
twice, it uses /96-prefixed one instead.

route. What it was is there are two places in ip_output.c
where we do a goto again. One place was fine, it
copies out the new address and then resets dst = ro->rt_dst;
But the other place does *not* do that, which means earlier
when we found the gateway, we have dst pointing there
aka dst = ro->rt_gateway is done.. then we do a
goto again.. bam now we clobber the default route.
The fix is just to move the again so we are always
doing dst = &ro->rt_dst; in the again loop.
