# 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.

# 228571 16-Dec-2011 glebius

A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

- Merge changes to the base system to support OFED. These include
a wider arg2 for sysctl, updates to vlan code, IFT_INFINIBAND,
and other miscellaneous small features.


# 170664 13-Jun-2007 rwatson

Remove IPX over IP tunneling support, which allows IPX routing over IP
tunnels, and was not MPSAFE. The code can be easily restored in the
event that someone with an IPX over IP tunnel configuration can work
with me to test patches.

This removes one of five remaining consumers of NET_NEEDS_GIANT.

# 159965 26-Jun-2006 thompsa

Add a pseudo interface for packet filtering IPSec connections before or after
encryption. There are two functions, a bpf tap which has a basic header with
the SPI number which our current tcpdump knows how to display, and handoff to
pfil(9) for packet filtering.

# 147256 10-Jun-2005 brooks

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.

This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.

Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

# 142215 22-Feb-2005 glebius

Add CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol), which allows multiple
hosts to share an IP address, providing high availability and load
balancing.

Original work on CARP done by Michael Shalayeff, with many
additions by Marco Pfatschbacher and Ryan McBride.

FreeBSD port done solely by Max Laier.

Sync up to NetBSD again, Step 1:

* Set the CSRG SCCS ID to the revision this file is actually based on
(the file itself has been updated to Lite2 in rev. 1.4).

* Fix some typos in comments.

* Add a comment to the trailing #endif according to style(9)


# 63954 28-Jul-2000 asmodai

Fix if_types.h as per the IANA assignments with regard to IPv6.
gif/faith/stf moved to 0xfN entries, since their previous location
is allocated to some other interfaces.
Also add the IFT_PVC, which is the ATM PVC subinterface from ALTQ.

This also syncs us up a bit to NetBSD again.

This change requires a total recompilation of all kmem users, as
itojun told me.

Next in line is synching to the IANI SMI list.

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
