Bruce M Simpson 71498f308b Import rewrite of IPv4 socket multicast layer to support source-specific
and protocol-independent host mode multicast. The code is written to
accomodate IPv6, IGMPv3 and MLDv2 with only a little additional work.

This change only pertains to FreeBSD's use as a multicast end-station and
does not concern multicast routing; for an IGMPv3/MLDv2 router
implementation, consider the XORP project.

The work is based on Wilbert de Graaf's IGMPv3 code drop for FreeBSD 4.6,
which is available at: http://www.kloosterhof.com/wilbert/igmpv3.html

Summary
 * IPv4 multicast socket processing is now moved out of ip_output.c
   into a new module, in_mcast.c.
 * The in_mcast.c module implements the IPv4 legacy any-source API in
   terms of the protocol-independent source-specific API.
 * Source filters are lazy allocated as the common case does not use them.
   They are part of per inpcb state and are covered by the inpcb lock.
 * struct ip_mreqn is now supported to allow applications to specify
   multicast joins by interface index in the legacy IPv4 any-source API.
 * In UDP, an incoming multicast datagram only requires that the source
   port matches the 4-tuple if the socket was already bound by source port.
   An unbound socket SHOULD be able to receive multicasts sent from an
   ephemeral source port.
 * The UDP socket multicast filter mode defaults to exclusive, that is,
   sources present in the per-socket list will be blocked from delivery.
 * The RFC 3678 userland functions have been added to libc: setsourcefilter,
   getsourcefilter, setipv4sourcefilter, getipv4sourcefilter.
 * Definitions for IGMPv3 are merged but not yet used.
 * struct sockaddr_storage is now referenced from <netinet/in.h>. It
   is therefore defined there if not already declared in the same way
   as for the C99 types.
 * The RFC 1724 hack (specify 0.0.0.0/8 addresses to IP_MULTICAST_IF
   which are then interpreted as interface indexes) is now deprecated.
 * A patch for the Rhyolite.com routed in the FreeBSD base system
   is available in the -net archives. This only affects individuals
   running RIPv1 or RIPv2 via point-to-point and/or unnumbered interfaces.
 * Make IPv6 detach path similar to IPv4's in code flow; functionally same.
 * Bump __FreeBSD_version to 700048; see UPDATING.

.Dt IP 4
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm ip
.Nd Internet Protocol
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/types.h
.In sys/socket.h
.In netinet/in.h
.Ft int
.Fn socket AF_INET SOCK_RAW proto
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Tn IP
is the transport layer protocol used
by the Internet protocol family.
Options may be set at the
.Tn IP
level
when using higher-level protocols that are based on
.Tn IP
(such as
.Tn TCP
and
.Tn UDP ) .
It may also be accessed
through a
.Dq raw socket
when developing new protocols, or
special-purpose applications.
.Pp
There are several
.Tn IP-level
.Xr setsockopt 2
and
.Xr getsockopt 2
options.
.Dv IP_OPTIONS
may be used to provide
.Tn IP
options to be transmitted in the
.Tn IP
header of each outgoing packet
or to examine the header options on incoming packets.
.Tn IP
options may be used with any socket type in the Internet family.
The format of
.Tn IP
options to be sent is that specified by the
.Tn IP
protocol specification (RFC-791), with one exception:
the list of addresses for Source Route options must include the first-hop
gateway at the beginning of the list of gateways.
The first-hop gateway address will be extracted from the option list
and the size adjusted accordingly before use.
To disable previously specified options,
use a zero-length buffer:
.Bd -literal
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_OPTIONS, NULL, 0);
.Ed
.Pp
.Dv IP_TOS
and
.Dv IP_TTL
may be used to set the type-of-service and time-to-live
fields in the
.Tn IP
header for
.Dv SOCK_STREAM , SOCK_DGRAM ,
and certain types of
.Dv SOCK_RAW
sockets.
For example,
.Bd -literal
int tos = IPTOS_LOWDELAY; /* see <netinet/ip.h> */
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS, &tos, sizeof(tos));
int ttl = 60; /* max = 255 */
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL, &ttl, sizeof(ttl));
.Ed
.Pp
.Dv IP_MINTTL
may be used to set the minimum acceptable TTL a packet must have when
received on a socket.
All packets with a lower TTL are silently dropped.
This option is only really useful when set to 255, preventing packets
from outside the directly connected networks reaching local listeners
on sockets.
.Pp
.Dv IP_DONTFRAG
may be used to set the Don't Fragment flag on IP packets.
Currently this option is respected only on
.Xr udp 4
and raw
.Xr ip 4
sockets, unless the
.Dv IP_HDRINCL
option has been set.
On
.Xr tcp 4
sockets, the Don't Fragment flag is controlled by the Path
MTU Discovery option.
Sending a packet larger than the MTU size of the egress interface,
determined by the destination address, returns an
.Er EMSGSIZE
error.
.Pp
If the
.Dv IP_RECVDSTADDR
option is enabled on a
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM
socket,
the
.Xr recvmsg 2
call will return the destination
.Tn IP
address for a
.Tn UDP
datagram.
The
.Vt msg_control
field in the
.Vt msghdr
structure points to a buffer
that contains a
.Vt cmsghdr
structure followed by the
.Tn IP
address.
The
.Vt cmsghdr
fields have the following values:
.Bd -literal
cmsg_len = sizeof(struct in_addr)
cmsg_level = IPPROTO_IP
cmsg_type = IP_RECVDSTADDR
.Ed
.Pp
The source address to be used for outgoing
.Tn UDP
datagrams on a socket that is not bound to a specific
.Tn IP
address can be specified as ancillary data with a type code of
.Dv IP_SENDSRCADDR .
The msg_control field in the msghdr structure should point to a buffer
that contains a
.Vt cmsghdr
structure followed by the
.Tn IP
address.
The cmsghdr fields should have the following values:
.Bd -literal
cmsg_len = sizeof(struct in_addr)
cmsg_level = IPPROTO_IP
cmsg_type = IP_SENDSRCADDR
.Ed
.Pp
For convenience,
.Dv IP_SENDSRCADDR
is defined to have the same value as
.Dv IP_RECVDSTADDR ,
so the
.Dv IP_RECVDSTADDR
control message from
.Xr recvmsg 2
can be used directly as a control message for
.Xr sendmsg 2 .
.\"
.Pp
If the
.Dv IP_ONESBCAST
option is enabled on a
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM
or a
.Dv SOCK_RAW
socket, the destination address of outgoing
broadcast datagrams on that socket will be forced
to the undirected broadcast address,
.Dv INADDR_BROADCAST ,
before transmission.
This is in contrast to the default behavior of the
system, which is to transmit undirected broadcasts
via the first network interface with the
.Dv IFF_BROADCAST flag set.
.Pp
This option allows applications to choose which
interface is used to transmit an undirected broadcast
datagram.
For example, the following code would force an
undirected broadcast to be transmitted via the interface
configured with the broadcast address 192.168.2.255:
.Bd -literal
char msg[512];
struct sockaddr_in sin;
u_char onesbcast = 1; /* 0 = disable (default), 1 = enable */
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ONESBCAST, &onesbcast, sizeof(onesbcast));
sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("192.168.2.255");
sin.sin_port = htons(1234);
sendto(s, msg, sizeof(msg), 0, &sin, sizeof(sin));
.Ed
.Pp
It is the application's responsibility to set the
.Dv IP_TTL option
to an appropriate value in order to prevent broadcast storms.
The application must have sufficient credentials to set the
.Dv SO_BROADCAST
socket level option, otherwise the
.Dv IP_ONESBCAST option has no effect.
.Pp
If the
.Dv IP_RECVTTL
option is enabled on a
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM
socket, the
.Xr recvmsg 2
call will return the
.Tn IP
.Tn TTL
(time to live) field for a
.Tn UDP
datagram.
The msg_control field in the msghdr structure points to a buffer
that contains a cmsghdr structure followed by the
.Tn TTL .
The cmsghdr fields have the following values:
.Bd -literal
cmsg_len = sizeof(u_char)
cmsg_level = IPPROTO_IP
cmsg_type = IP_RECVTTL
.Ed
.\"
.Pp
If the
.Dv IP_RECVIF
option is enabled on a
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM
socket, the
.Xr recvmsg 2
call returns a
.Vt "struct sockaddr_dl"
corresponding to the interface on which the
packet was received.
The
.Va msg_control
field in the
.Vt msghdr
structure points to a buffer that contains a
.Vt cmsghdr
structure followed by the
.Vt "struct sockaddr_dl" .
The
.Vt cmsghdr
fields have the following values:
.Bd -literal
cmsg_len = sizeof(struct sockaddr_dl)
cmsg_level = IPPROTO_IP
cmsg_type = IP_RECVIF
.Ed
.Pp
.Dv IP_PORTRANGE
may be used to set the port range used for selecting a local port number
on a socket with an unspecified (zero) port number.
It has the following
possible values:
.Bl -tag -width IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT
.It Dv IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT
use the default range of values, normally
.Dv IPPORT_HIFIRSTAUTO
through
.Dv IPPORT_HILASTAUTO .
This is adjustable through the sysctl setting:
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.first
and
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.last .
.It Dv IP_PORTRANGE_HIGH
use a high range of values, normally
.Dv IPPORT_HIFIRSTAUTO
and
.Dv IPPORT_HILASTAUTO .
This is adjustable through the sysctl setting:
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst
and
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast .
.It Dv IP_PORTRANGE_LOW
use a low range of ports, which are normally restricted to
privileged processes on
.Ux
systems.
The range is normally from
.Dv IPPORT_RESERVED
\- 1 down to
.Li IPPORT_RESERVEDSTART
in descending order.
This is adjustable through the sysctl setting:
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.lowfirst
and
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.lowlast .
.El
.Pp
The range of privileged ports which only may be opened by
root-owned processes may be modified by the
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedlow
and
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh
sysctl settings.
The values default to the traditional range,
0 through
.Dv IPPORT_RESERVED
\- 1
(0 through 1023), respectively.
Note that these settings do not affect and are not accounted for in the
use or calculation of the other
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange
values above.
Changing these values departs from
.Ux
tradition and has security
consequences that the administrator should carefully evaluate before
modifying these settings.
.Pp
Ports are allocated at random within the specified port range in order
to increase the difficulty of random spoofing attacks.
In scenarios such as benchmarking, this behavior may be undesirable.
In these cases,
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.randomized
can be used to toggle randomization off.
If more than
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.randomcps
ports have been allocated in the last second, then return to sequential
port allocation.
Return to random allocation only once the current port allocation rate
drops below
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.randomcps
for at least
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.randomtime
seconds.
The default values for
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.randomcps
and
.Va net.inet.ip.portrange.randomtime
are 10 port allocations per second and 45 seconds correspondingly.
.Ss "Multicast Options"
.Pp
.Tn IP
multicasting is supported only on
.Dv AF_INET
sockets of type
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM
and
.Dv SOCK_RAW ,
and only on networks where the interface
driver supports multicasting.
.Pp
The
.Dv IP_MULTICAST_TTL
option changes the time-to-live (TTL)
for outgoing multicast datagrams
in order to control the scope of the multicasts:
.Bd -literal
u_char ttl; /* range: 0 to 255, default = 1 */
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, sizeof(ttl));
.Ed
.Pp
Datagrams with a TTL of 1 are not forwarded beyond the local network.
Multicast datagrams with a TTL of 0 will not be transmitted on any network,
but may be delivered locally if the sending host belongs to the destination
group and if multicast loopback has not been disabled on the sending socket
(see below).
Multicast datagrams with TTL greater than 1 may be forwarded
to other networks if a multicast router is attached to the local network.
.Pp
For hosts with multiple interfaces, each multicast transmission is
sent from the primary network interface.
The
.Dv IP_MULTICAST_IF
option overrides the default for
subsequent transmissions from a given socket:
.Bd -literal
struct in_addr addr;
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF, &addr, sizeof(addr));
.Ed
.Pp
where "addr" is the local
.Tn IP
address of the desired interface or
.Dv INADDR_ANY
to specify the default interface.
.Pp
To specify an interface by index, an instance of
.Vt ip_mreqn
should be passed instead.
The
.Vt imr_ifindex
member should be set to the index of the desired interface,
or 0 to specify the default interface.
The kernel differentiates between these two structures by their size.
.\"
An interface's local IP address and multicast capability can
be obtained via the
.Dv SIOCGIFCONF
and
.Dv SIOCGIFFLAGS
ioctls.
Normal applications should not need to use this option.
.Pp
If a multicast datagram is sent to a group to which the sending host itself
belongs (on the outgoing interface), a copy of the datagram is, by default,
looped back by the IP layer for local delivery.
The
.Dv IP_MULTICAST_LOOP
option gives the sender explicit control
over whether or not subsequent datagrams are looped back:
.Bd -literal
u_char loop; /* 0 = disable, 1 = enable (default) */
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_LOOP, &loop, sizeof(loop));
.Ed
.Pp
This option
improves performance for applications that may have no more than one
instance on a single host (such as a router daemon), by eliminating
the overhead of receiving their own transmissions.
It should generally not
be used by applications for which there may be more than one instance on a
single host (such as a conferencing program) or for which the sender does
not belong to the destination group (such as a time querying program).
.Pp
A multicast datagram sent with an initial TTL greater than 1 may be delivered
to the sending host on a different interface from that on which it was sent,
if the host belongs to the destination group on that other interface.
The loopback control option has no effect on such delivery.
.Pp
A host must become a member of a multicast group before it can receive
datagrams sent to the group.
To join a multicast group, use the
.Dv IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP
option:
.Bd -literal
struct ip_mreq mreq;
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &mreq, sizeof(mreq));
.Ed
.Pp
where
.Fa mreq
is the following structure:
.Bd -literal
struct ip_mreq {
struct in_addr imr_multiaddr; /* IP multicast address of group */
struct in_addr imr_interface; /* local IP address of interface */
}
.Ed
.Pp
.Va imr_interface
should be set to
.Dv INADDR_ANY
to choose the default multicast interface,
or the
.Tn IP
address of a particular multicast-capable interface if
the host is multihomed.
.\" TODO: Remove this piece when the RFC 3678 API is implemented and
.\" the RFC 1724 hack is removed.
Since
.Fx 4.4 ,
if the
.Va imr_interface
member is within the network range
.Li 0.0.0.0/8 ,
it is treated as an interface index in the system interface MIB,
as per the RIP Version 2 MIB Extension (RFC-1724).
.\" TODO: Update this piece when IPv4 source-address selection is implemented.
.Pp
Up to
.Dv IP_MAX_MEMBERSHIPS
memberships may be added on a single socket.
Membership is associated with a single interface;
programs running on multihomed hosts may need to
join the same group on more than one interface.
.Pp
The IGMP protocol uses the primary IP address of the interface
as its identifier for group membership.
If multiple IP aliases are configured on the same interface,
they will be ignored.
This shortcoming was addressed in IPv6; MLDv2 requires
that the unique link-local address for an interface is
used to identify an MLDv2 listener.
.Pp
To drop a membership, use:
.Bd -literal
struct ip_mreq mreq;
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP, &mreq, sizeof(mreq));
.Ed
.Pp
where
.Fa mreq
contains the same values as used to add the membership.
Memberships are dropped when the socket is closed or the process exits.
.\"-----------------------
.Ss "Raw IP Sockets"
.Pp
Raw
.Tn IP
sockets are connectionless,
and are normally used with the
.Xr sendto 2
and
.Xr recvfrom 2
calls, though the
.Xr connect 2
call may also be used to fix the destination for future
packets (in which case the
.Xr read 2
or
.Xr recv 2
and
.Xr write 2
or
.Xr send 2
system calls may be used).
.Pp
If
.Fa proto
is 0, the default protocol
.Dv IPPROTO_RAW
is used for outgoing
packets, and only incoming packets destined for that protocol
are received.
If
.Fa proto
is non-zero, that protocol number will be used on outgoing packets
and to filter incoming packets.
.Pp
Outgoing packets automatically have an
.Tn IP
header prepended to
them (based on the destination address and the protocol
number the socket is created with),
unless the
.Dv IP_HDRINCL
option has been set.
Incoming packets are received with
.Tn IP
header and options intact.
.Pp
.Dv IP_HDRINCL
indicates the complete IP header is included with the data
and may be used only with the
.Dv SOCK_RAW
type.
.Bd -literal
#include <netinet/in_systm.h>
#include <netinet/ip.h>
int hincl = 1; /* 1 = on, 0 = off */
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_HDRINCL, &hincl, sizeof(hincl));
.Ed
.Pp
Unlike previous
.Bx
releases, the program must set all
the fields of the IP header, including the following:
.Bd -literal
ip->ip_v = IPVERSION;
ip->ip_hl = hlen >> 2;
ip->ip_id = 0; /* 0 means kernel set appropriate value */
ip->ip_off = offset;
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Va ip_len
and
.Va ip_off
fields
.Em must
be provided in host byte order .
All other fields must be provided in network byte order.
See
.Xr byteorder 3
for more information on network byte order.
If the
.Va ip_id
field is set to 0 then the kernel will choose an
appropriate value.
If the header source address is set to
.Dv INADDR_ANY ,
the kernel will choose an appropriate address.
.Sh ERRORS
A socket operation may fail with one of the following errors returned:
