# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 192923 27-May-2009 bms

Merge final round of MLD changes from p4:
ip6_input.c, in6.h:
* Add netinet6-specific mbuf flag M_RTALERT_MLD, shadowing M_PROTO6.
* Always set this flag if HBH Router Alert option is present for MLD,
even when not forwarding.

icmp6.c:
* In icmp6_input(), spell m->m_pkthdr.rcvif as ifp to be consistent.
* Use scope ID for verifying input. Do not apply SSM filters here, no inpcb.
* Check for M_RTALERT_MLD when validating MLD traffic, as we can't see
IPv6 hop options outside of ip6_input().

in6_mcast.c:
* Use KAME scope/zone ID in in6_multi.
* Update net.inet6.ip6.mcast.filters implementation to use scope IDs
for comparisons.
* Fix scope ID treatment in multicast socket option processing.
Scope IDs passed in from userland will be ignored as other less
ambiguous APIs exist for specifying the link.
* Tighten userland input checks in IPv6 SSM delta and full-state ops.
* Source filter embedded scope IDs need to be revisited, for now
just clear them and ignore them on input.
* Adapt KAME behaviour of looking up the scope ID in the default zone
for multicast leaves, when the interface is ambiguous.

mld6.c:
* Tighten origin checks on MLD traffic as per RFC3810 Section 6.2:
* ip6_src MAY be the unspecified address for MLDv1 reports.
* ip6_src MAY have link-local address scope for MLDv1 reports,
MLDv1 queries, and MLDv2 queries.
* Perform address field validation *before* accepting queries.
* Use KAME scope/zone ID in query/report processing.
* Break const correctness for mld_v1_input_report(), mld_v1_input_query()
as we temporarily modify the input mbuf chain.
* Clear the scope ID before handoff to userland MLD daemon.
* Fix MLDv1 old querier present timer processing.
With the protocol defaults, hosts should revert to MLDv2 after 260s.
* Add net.inet6.mld.v1enable sysctl, default to on.

ifmcstat.c:
* Use sysctl by default; -K requests kvm(3) if so compiled.

mld.4:
* Connect man page to build.

Tested using PCS.


# 189592 09-Mar-2009 bms

Merge IGMPv3 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) to the FreeBSD
IPv4 stack.

Diffs are minimized against p4.
PCS has been used for some protocol verification, more widespread
testing of recorded sources in Group-and-Source queries is needed.
sizeof(struct igmpstat) has changed.

__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 800070.


# 189338 04-Mar-2009 bms

Add cross-reference to sourcefilter(3).


# 167676 18-Mar-2007 bms

Point out that PIM is the way to go.

# 166973 25-Feb-2007 bms

Update multicast(4) manual page to reflect the new reality of the code.


# 131864 09-Jul-2004 ru

Polished markup.


# 131530 03-Jul-2004 ru

Mechanically kill hard sentence breaks and double whitespaces.


# 131472 02-Jul-2004 ru

Removed trailing whitespace.


# 121159 17-Oct-2003 bmah
