2007-09-03Bump RTM_VERSION to 4 and start a new aera of routing in OpenBSD :)Claudio Jeker
Changes include 64bit counters instead of u_long, routing table id in the header of most messages, reserved routing priority field, added a hdrlen field to skip over the header so that binary compatibility becomes easier. A minimal backward support for old binaries is included to ease upgrades but don't expect anything more than ifconfig, route and dhclient to correctly work. OK henning@ mglocker@
2007-06-25crank ifq_maxlen from 50 to 256, so it is not smaller than most interfacesHenning Brauer
rx rings any more. forwarding boxes with many fast interfaces can still use some more, but this is a saner default. ok deraadt markus henric
2007-06-14Add a new "rtlabel" option to ifconfig. It allows to specify a route labelReyk Floeter
which will be used for new interface routes. For example, ifconfig em0 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 rtlabel RING_1 will set the new interface address and attach the route label RING_1 to the corresponding route. manpage bits from jmc@ ok claudio@ henning@

2006-11-28add additional link states to report the half duplex / full duplexReyk Floeter
state, if known by the driver. this is required to check the full duplex state without depending on the ifmedia ioctl which can't be called in the kernel without process context. ok henning@, brad@
2006-11-16introduce if_creategroup() to create an empty interface group.Henning Brauer
code factored out from if_addgroup(), previously a group always had to have members. ok mpf mcbride
2006-10-31ether_input_mbuf() isn't necessary, turn it into a macro and deal withJason Wright
it's "special" case in ether_input(). Based on similiar idea in FreeBSD. ok brad
2006-06-02Introduce attributes to interface groups.Marco Pfatschbacher
As a first user, move the global carp(4) demotion counter into the interface group. Thus we have the possibility to define which carp interfaces are demoted together. Put the demotion counter into the reserved field of the carp header. With this, we can have carp act smarter if multiple errors occur. It now always takes over other carp peers, that are advertising with a higher demote count. As a side effect, we can also have group failovers without the need of running in preempt mode. The protocol change does not break compability with older implementations. Collaborative work with mcbride@ OK mcbride@, henning@
2006-05-27remove IFCAP_JUMBO_MTU interface capabilities flag and set if_hardmtu in a fewBrad Smith
more drivers. ok reyk@
2006-05-26rename jumbo mtu to if_hardmtu; ok brad reykTheo de Raadt
2006-05-19add a if_jumbo_mtu field to the interface structure for driversReyk Floeter
supporting ethernet jumbo frames. there's no standard for the size of jumbo MTUs, so either let the driver set it's own value or use 9000 byte jumbo frames by default. ok brad@
2006-03-04With the exception of two other small uncommited diffs this movesBrad Smith
the remainder of the network stack from splimp to splnet. ok miod@
2006-02-09add an interface detach hook and use it with the vlan(4) driver. thisReyk Floeter
fixes a possible crash if the parent interface has been destroyed (like vlan on trunk) before destroying the vlan interface. ok brad@
2005-06-14rename function and define to reflect the external -> egress name changeHenning Brauer
so it is clear what it is all about
2005-06-14use "egress" instead of "external" for the interface group containing theHenning Brauer
interfaces the default route(s) point to, proposed deraadt some days ago, ok djm deraadt
2005-06-12add SIOCGIFGMEMB ioctl, returns a list of all interfaces who are member ofHenning Brauer
the given group, markus ok
2005-06-07introduce a default "external" interface group, containing the interface(s)Henning Brauer
the the default route(s) point to. handles IPv4 and IPv6 as well as multipath routes. follows default route changes, of course. eases writing pf rulesets especially on laptops etc. that use different interfaces depending on the environment (wired, wireless, ...) ok theo ryan
2005-06-06use a define instead of hardcoding "all" in 3 placesHenning Brauer
2005-06-05const'ify the char *groupname param to if_addgroup and if_delgroupHenning Brauer
2005-05-24add net.inet.ip.ifq for monitoring and changing ifqueue; similar to netbsdMarkus Friedl
ok henning
2005-05-24initial import of a trunking (link aggregation and link failover)Reyk Floeter
implementation. it currently supports round robin mode with link state checking, additional modes will be added later. ok brad@, deraadt@

2005-05-21clean up and rework the interface absraction code big time, rip out multipleHenning Brauer
useless layers of indirection and make the code way cleaner overall. this is just the start, more to come... worked very hard on by Ryan and me in Montreal last week, on the airplane to vancouver and yesterday here in calgary. it hurt. ok ryan theo
2005-04-20Introduce if_linkstatehooks.Marco Pfatschbacher
This converts if_link_state_change() to a generic usable callback with dohooks(). OK henning@, camield@ Tested by camield@ and Alexey E. Suslikov
2005-02-07Add new function if_link_state_change() to take care of sending messagesRyan Thomas McBride
on the routing socket and notifying carp() of link changes. ok brad@ mpf@
2005-01-14remove old ifgroups ioctlsHenning Brauer
the old ifgroups haven't been in use ever really, and the new implementation is 3 months old today. theo ok (3 months ago)
2004-12-07Convert carp(4) to behave more like a regular interface, much in the sameRyan Thomas McBride
style as vlan(4). carp interfaces no longer require the physical interface to be on the same subnet as the carp interface, or even that the physical interface has an adress at all, so CARP can now be used on /30 networks. ok deraadt@ henning@

2004-12-03do not use one struct timeout for the if congestion stuff, but embedHenning Brauer
a struct timeout to struct ifqueue so that each one has its own - it is a per-queue thing. from chris pascoe

2004-10-11ifgroups reqriteHenning Brauer
there is now a TAILQ with all interface groups as members, and in struct ofnet there is only a pointer to the group structure stored and not its name. mostly hacked at c2k4 and somewhere over the atlantic ocean ok markus mcbride
2004-06-26cleanup ioctl for ifgroups; ok pb@Markus Friedl
2004-06-25introduce "interface groups"Philipp Buehler
by "ifconfig fxp0 group foobar" "ifconfig xl0 group foobar" these two interfaces are in one group. Every interface has its if-family as default group. idea/design from henning@, based on some work/disucssion from Joris Vink. henning@, mcbride@ ok.

2004-05-18if_ether.hBrad Smith
add ETHER_MAX_LEN_JUMBO, ETHER_VLAN_ENCAP_LEN, ETHER_ALIGN, and ETHERMTU_JUMBO constants. if.h add a few more interface capabilities flags. Some from NetBSD, some from FreeBSD. ok markus@
2004-04-26Before enqueueing the packet, copy the contents of incoming clustersRyan Thomas McBride
to the mbuf and free the cluster when it contains a small packet. ok deraadt@
2004-04-17add a congestion indicator to if_queue. It is set when the input queueHenning Brauer
is full, along with a timer that unsets it again after 10ms. The input queue beeing full is a reliable indicator for CPU overload, and this flag allows other subsystems to cope with the situation. hacked with beck ok kjc@ markus@ beck@

2003-12-10use if_indexlim (instead of if_index) and ifindex2ifnet[x] != NULLJun-ichiro itojun Hagino
to check if interface exists, as (1) if_index will have different meaning (2) ifindex2ifnet could become NULL when interface gets destroyed, when we introduce dynamically-created interfaces. markus ok
