Rack includes the following features: - A different SACK processing
scheme (the old sack structures are not used). - RACK (Recent
acknowledgment) where counting dup-acks is no longer done instead time
is used to knwo when to retransmit. (see the I-D) - TLP (Tail Loss
Probe) where we will probe for tail-losses to attempt to try not to take
a retransmit time-out. (see the I-D) - Burst mitigation using TCPHTPS -
PRR (partial rate reduction) see the RFC.
Once built into your kernel, you can select this stack by either
socket option with the name of the stack is "rack" or by setting
the global sysctl so the default is rack.
Note that any connection that does not support SACK will be kicked
back to the "default" base FreeBSD stack (currently known as "default").
To build this into your kernel you will need to enable in your
kernel:
makeoptions WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=1
options TCPHPTS

which we discussed at the developer summits at BSDCan and BSDCam in 2017.
The TCP Blackbox Recorder allows you to capture events on a TCP connection
in a ring buffer. It stores metadata with the event. It optionally stores
the TCP header associated with an event (if the event is associated with a
packet) and also optionally stores information on the sockets.
It supports setting a log ID on a TCP connection and using this to correlate
multiple connections that share a common log ID.
You can log connections in different modes. If you are doing a coordinated
test with a particular connection, you may tell the system to put it in
mode 4 (continuous dump). Or, if you just want to monitor for errors, you
can put it in mode 1 (ring buffer) and dump all the ring buffers associated
with the connection ID when we receive an error signal for that connection
ID. You can set a default mode that will be applied to a particular ratio
of incoming connections. You can also manually set a mode using a socket
option.
This commit includes only basic probes. rrs@ has added quite an abundance
of probes in his TCP development work. He plans to commit those soon.
There are user-space programs which we plan to commit as ports. These read
the data from the log device and output pcapng files, and then let you
analyze the data (and metadata) in the pcapng files.

[RFC7413]. It also includes a pre-shared key mode of operation in which
the server requires the client to be in possession of a shared secret in
order to successfully open TFO connections with that server.
The names of some existing fastopen sysctls have changed (e.g.,
net.inet.tcp.fastopen.enabled -> net.inet.tcp.fastopen.server_enable).

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Add the POSIX header files
* arpa/inet.h
* net/if.h
* netdb.h
* netinet/in.h
* netinet/tcp.h
* sys/socket.h
* sys/syslog.h
* sys/uio.h
* sys/un.h
* syslog.h
* termios.h
and their dependencies for RTEMS. The origin of these files is the
latest FreeBSD.
