netstat has two options for printing multicast tables:
sysctl (the default one for live systems) and kvm-based one (for cores).
It looks like kvm-based one hasn't been working since it's been introduced
in r190012 due to absence of mfctablesize kernel symbol.
Check for all ipv4-multicast symbols being correctly resolved was introduced
in r259638 regardless of 'live' value leading to "No IPv4 MROUTING" error
message.

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.
interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and
finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate
a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed.
o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.
o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
which at modern speeds overflow within a second.
This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.
o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.
o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.
__FreeBSD_version bumped.

- Use counter(9) for rt_pksent (former rt_rmx.rmx_pksent). This
removes another cache trashing ++ from packet forwarding path.
- Create zini/fini methods for the rtentry UMA zone. Via initialize
mutex and counter in them.
- Fix reporting of rmx_pksent to routing socket.
- Fix netstat(1) to report "Use" both in kvm(3) and sysctl(3) mode.
The change is mostly targeted for stable/10 merge. For head,
rt_pksent is expected to just disappear.

insert flow entry. During the route lookup the critical section is
exited. It may happen, that after route lookup we will be executed
on an other CPU that already has such flowentry. Before this change
we simply freed the flowentry and returned to ip_output() with
failure.
Actually there is nothing wrong with using previously allocated
flow entry, updating it properly. Thus, make flowentry_insert()
return the new either old fle, and make use of it.
Count reuses as "collisions" and real inserts as "inserts".

Some of the collisions that are occuring are due to flowtable lookups
that succeed but have an invalid lle - typically because the L2 adjacency
lookup hasn't completed. This would lead to a follow-up insert which
would then fail (ie, collision) and the code would fall through to doing
a slow-path L2/L3 lookup in the netinet/netinet6 code.
This patch simply aborts storing a new flowtable entry if the lle isn't
yet valid.
Whilst I'm here, add a new pcpu counter for the item so the number of
failures can be tracked separately from generic "collisions."

- ip_output() and ip_output6() simply call flowtable_lookup(),
passing mbuf and address family. That's the only code under
#ifdef FLOWTABLE in the protocols code now.
o Revamp statistics gathering and export.
- Remove hand made pcpu stats, and utilize counter(9).
- Snapshot of statistics is available via 'netstat -rs'.
- All sysctls are moved into net.flowtable namespace, since
spreading them over net.inet isn't correct.
o Properly separate at compile time INET and INET6 parts.
o General cleanup.
- Remove chain of multiple flowtables. We simply have one for
IPv4 and one for IPv6.
- Flowtables are allocated in flowtable.c, symbols are static.
- With proper argument to SYSINIT() we no longer need flowtable_ready.
- Hash salt doesn't need to be per-VNET.
- Removed rudimentary debugging, which use quite useless in dtrace era.
The runtime behavior of flowtable shouldn't be changed by this commit.

instead of peeking inside in-kernel radix via kget.
This permits us to change kernel structures without breaking userland.
Additionally, this change provide more reliable and faster output.
`Refs` and `Use` fields available in IPv4 by default (and via -W
for other families) were removed. `Refs` is radix-specific thing
which is not informative for users. `Use` field value is handy sometimes,
but a) current API does not support it and b) I'm not sure we will
support per-rte pcpu counters in near future.
Old method of retrieving data is still supported (either by defining
NewTree=0 or running netstat with -A). However, Refs/Use fields are
hidden.

libkvm digging in kernel memory. This is possible since r231506 made
getifaddrs(3) to supply if_data for each ifaddr.
The pros of this change is that now netstat(1) doesn't know about kernel
struct ifnet and struct ifaddr. And these structs are about to change
significantly in head soon. New netstat binary will work well with 10.0
and any future kernel.
The cons is that now it isn't possible to obtain interface statistics
from a vmcore.
Functions intpr() and sidewaysintpr() were rewritten from scratch.
The output of netstat(1) has underwent the following changes:
1) The MTU is not printed for protocol addresses, since it has no notion.
Dash is printed instead. If there would be a strong desire to return
previous output, it is doable.
2) Output interface queue drops are not printed. Currently this data isn't
available to userland via any API. We plan to drop 'struct ifqueue' from
'struct ifnet' very soon, so old kvm(3) access to queue drops is soon
to be broken, too. The plan is that drivers would handle their queues
theirselves and a new field in if_data would be updated in case of drops.
3) In-kernel reference count for multicast addresses isn't printed. I doubt
that anyone used it. Anyway, netstat(1) is sysadmin tool, not kernel
debugger.

KAME-specific sin6_scope_id handling routine from each userland utility:
sin6.sin6_scope_id = ntohs(*(u_int16_t *)&sin6.sin6_addr.s6_addr[2]);
This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid. This is
set to 1 by default (sin6_scope_id will be filled in the kernel).

Machines can stall out because mbufs are low, however sometimes we won't
see "requests denied", instead we see user land processes or kernel threads
blocking waiting for mbufs because they set M_WAIT. These consumers do not
see errors, only stalling.
Unfortunately until now, netstat did not export this information
so you could have experienced an mbuf shortage and have no way of
seeing it unless you happen to run netstat at the exact time of the
shortage and see "in use" = "max".
By exporting the number of times processes are blocked, we can
effectively see how often non-interrupt context threads are effectively
"denied".
