In order to ensure security and functionality, RFC 1948 style

any major crypographic breakthroughs, this algorithm should be

OpenBSD algorithm and the older random positive increment method.
While the OpenBSD algorithm is more secure, it also breaks TIME_WAIT
handling; this is causing trouble for an increasing number of folks.
To switch between generation schemes, one sets the sysctl
net.inet.tcp.tcp_seq_genscheme. 0 = random positive increments,
1 = the OpenBSD algorithm. 1 is still the default.
Once a secure _and_ compatible algorithm is implemented, this sysctl
will be removed.

A Destination Unreachable message that is received MUST be
reported to the transport layer. The transport layer SHOULD
use the information appropriately; for example, see Sections
4.1.3.3, 4.2.3.9, and 4.2.4 below. A transport protocol
that has its own mechanism for notifying the sender that a
port is unreachable (e.g., TCP, which sends RST segments)
MUST nevertheless accept an ICMP Port Unreachable for the
same purpose.

I've written a small extension that implement this, it also create
a sysctl "net.inet.tcp.icmp_admin_prohib_like_rst" to control if
this new behaviour is activated.
When it's activated (set to 1) we'll treat a ICMP administratively
prohibited message (icmp type 3 code 9, 10 and 13) for a TCP
sessions, as if we recived a TCP RST, but only if the TCP session
is in SYN_SENT state.
The reason for only reacting when in SYN_SENT state, is that this
will solve the problem, and at the same time minimize the risk of
this being abused.
I suggest that we enable this new behaviour by default, but it
would be a change of current behaviour, so if people prefer to
leave it disabled by default, at least for now, this would be ok
for me, the attached diff actually have the sysctl set to 0 by
default.

a hashed port list. In the new scheme, in_pcblookup() goes away and is
replaced by a new routine, in_pcblookup_local() for doing the local port
check. Note that this implementation is space inefficient in that the PCB
struct is now too large to fit into 128 bytes. I might deal with this in the
future by using the new zone allocator, but I wanted these changes to be
extensively tested in their current form first.
Also:
1) Fixed off-by-one errors in the port lookup loops in in_pcbbind().
2) Got rid of some unneeded rehashing. Adding a new routine, in_pcbinshash()
to do the initialial hash insertion.
3) Renamed in_pcblookuphash() to in_pcblookup_hash() for easier readability.
4) Added a new routine, in_pcbremlists() to remove the PCB from the various
hash lists.
5) Added/deleted comments where appropriate.
6) Removed unnecessary splnet() locking. In general, the PCB functions should
be called at splnet()...there are unfortunately a few exceptions, however.
7) Reorganized a few structs for better cache line behavior.
8) Killed my TCP_ACK_HACK kludge. It may come back in a different form in
the future, however.
These changes have been tested on wcarchive for more than a month. In tests

WARNING: Anything that knows about inpcb and tcpcb structs will have to be

This commit includes the following changes:
1) Old-style (pr_usrreq()) protocols are no longer supported, the compatibility
glue for them is deleted, and the kernel will panic on boot if any are compiled
in.
2) Certain protocol entry points are modified to take a process structure,
so they they can easily tell whether or not it is possible to sleep, and
also to access credentials.
3) SS_PRIV is no more, and with it goes the SO_PRIVSTATE setsockopt()
call. Protocols should use the process pointer they are now passed.
4) The PF_LOCAL and PF_ROUTE families have been updated to use the new
style, as has the `raw' skeleton family.
5) PF_LOCAL sockets now obey the process's umask when creating a socket
in the filesystem.
As a result, LINT is now broken. I'm hoping that some enterprising hacker

easy for netipx) or dike them out.

timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had
expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq()

related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not

from Larry Peterson &co. at Arizona:
- Header prediction for ACKs did not exclude Fast Retransmit/Recovery.
- srtt calculation tended to get ``stuck'' and could never decrease
when below 8. It still can't, but the scaling factors are adjusted
so that this artifact does not cause as bad an effect on the RTO
value as it used to.
The paper also points out the incr/8 error that has been long since fixed,
and the problems with ACKing frequency resulting from the use of options
which I suspect to be fixed already as well (as part of the T/TCP work).
