This is some of the worst code I've had to wade through in
ages and I don't want to have to start from scratch again next time.
(I have a 2.2 version of these comments, can I commit them?)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Sorry if this makes it harder to merge in lite2 stuff but hey..
At least I can figure out what is going on whenever I end up going through those
files again..
do we have a policy regarding commenting existing code?
is non-null before trying to delete it in rt_setgate(), which then
allows removal of the special-case code from the RTM_ADD case.
This should fix the panics that joerg and Phil Karn have been seeing.
like it does elsewhere. This is probably only happens when incorrect
args are given to route(8), or when running with non-IPv4 stacks but
incorrect args to the route command is no excuse for panicing!

"can't allocate llinfo" errors.
This change may cause gated or routed to start complaining when adding
such routes. If so, these programs will need to be fixed to not try
to add these routes.

certain set of circumstances.
This also includes code to forbid setting a route's gateway to an
address which can only be reached through that route, thus (hopefully)
eliminating one class of cloning bottomless-recursion bugs.

This will be yet another incompatible change in your route-using binaries.
I apologize, but this was the only way to do it. I took this opportunity
to increase the size of the metrics to what I believe will be the final
length for 2.1, so that when the T/TCP stuff is done, this won't happen
again.

rtalloc1() to allow for any interface flags to be ignored; currently
this is only useful for RTF_PRCLONING. Get rid of rt_prflags and re-unite
with rt_flags. Add T/TCP ``route metrics''.

This also adds a new interface parameter, `ifi_physical', which will
eventually replace IFF_ALTPHYS as the mechanism for specifying the
particular physical connection desired on a multiple-connection card.

NB: You will have to recompile programs which use the `rt_use' member in

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.
to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):
- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.
What still needs to be done:
- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.
Some notes about the porting process:
In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.
I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.
