# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

Copy head (r256279) to stable/10 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

# 240494 14-Sep-2012 glebius

o Create directory sys/netpfil, where all packet filters should
reside, and move there ipfw(4) and pf(4).

o Move most modified parts of pf out of contrib.

Actual movements:

sys/contrib/pf/net/*.c -> sys/netpfil/pf/
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.h -> sys/net/
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.c -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.h -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/pfctl.8 -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.4 -> share/man/man4
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.5 -> share/man/man5

sys/netinet/ipfw -> sys/netpfil/ipfw

The arguable movement is pf/net/*.h -> sys/net. There are
future plans to refactor pf includes, so I decided not to
break things twice.

Not modified bits of pf left in contrib: authpf, ftp-proxy,
tftp-proxy, pflogd.

The ipfw(4) movement is planned to be merged to stable/9,
to make head and stable match.

Discussed with: bz, luigi


# 228736 20-Dec-2011 glebius

Restore a feature that was present in 5.x and 6.x, and was cleared in
7.x, 8.x and 9.x with pf(4) imports: pfsync(4) should suppress CARP
preemption, while it is running its bulk update.

However, reimplement the feature in more elegant manner, that is
partially inspired by newer OpenBSD:

- Rename term "suppression" to "demotion", to match with OpenBSD.
- Keep a global demotion factor, that can be raised by several
conditions, for now these are:
- interface goes down
- carp(4) has problems with ip_output() or ip6_output()
- pfsync performs bulk update
- Unlike in OpenBSD the demotion factor isn't a counter, but
is actual value added to advskew. The adjustment values for
particular error conditions are also configurable, and their
defaults are maximum advskew value, so a single failure bumps
demotion to maximum. This is for POLA compatibility, and should
satisfy most users.
- Demotion factor is a writable sysctl, so user can do
foot shooting, if he desires to.


# 228734 20-Dec-2011 glebius

- Fix examples to show new CARP style.
- Remove OpenBSDisms, add FreeBSDisms.


# 223637 28-Jun-2011 bz

Update packet filter (pf) code to OpenBSD 4.5.

You need to update userland (world and ports) tools
to be in sync with the kernel.

- Note that the synchronisation interface needs to be up and have
an IP address assigned.
- Add "quick" keyword to pf.conf example.

# 150835 02-Oct-2005 yar

Add an rc.d script to start pfsync at the right moment of the
system boot, and hook it up in the system.

The separate script is needed because in the presence of various
interface lists in rc.conf ($network_interfaces, $cloned_interfaces,
$sppp_interfaces, $gif_interfaces, more to come) it is hard to start
them orderly, so that pfsync is brought up after its syncdev, which
is required for the proper startup of pfsync.

Resolve conflicts created during the import of pf 3.7 Some features are
missing and will be implemented in a second step. This is functional as is.

- comment out feature, we do not have yet: tcpdumping on pfsync,
add a BUGS section
- reference carp.4
- dereference bpf(4), tcpdump(7), hostname.if(5)
- sort references
- tell when pfsync appeared in FreeBSD
