[IPV6] MIP6: Loadable module support for MIPv6.

2007-07-11T05:15:42Z

This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6". Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6: alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6 alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6 Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however, it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec or IPv6 with and without the patch. We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt separately for future work. Loadable features: * MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back) * RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS) * XFRM policy/state database handling for RO These are NOT covered as loadable: * Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection * XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option) * XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header * MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application opens it (since raw socket allows to do so) * RH2 sending as ancillary data * RH2 operation with setsockopt(2) Signed-off-by: Masahide NAKAMURA Signed-off-by: David S.

[IPV6] ADDRCONF: Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection (RFC 4429) Support.

2007-04-26T05:23:43Z

Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the Tentative state (as per RFC 2462). Addresses in this state remain in this state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to determine their uniqueness on the network. During this period, these tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time before a node may be able to communicate on a network. Using Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address Detection process.

[IPSEC]: make sit use the xfrm4_tunnel_register

2007-02-13T20:55:25Z

This patch makes sit use xfrm4_tunnel_register instead of inet_add_protocol. It solves conflict of sit device with inter address family IPsec tunnel. Signed-off-by: Kazunori MIYAZAWA Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Rethink mark field in struct flowi

2006-12-03T05:21:39Z

Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing its usage. The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems to enable respectively disable mark based routing only obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant, and most distributions have all these options enabled by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove the config options and enable mark based routing by default. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6]: Make IPV6_SUBTREES depend on IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES.

2006-10-19T02:55:29Z

As IPV6_SUBTREES can't work without IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES have IPV6_SUBTREES depend on it. Signed-off-by: Ville Nuorvala Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6]: Seperate sit driver to extra module

2006-10-12T06:59:50Z

This patch removes the driver of the IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel driver (sit) from the IPv6 module. It adds an option to Kconfig which makes it possible to compile it as a seperate module. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[XFRM]: BEET mode

2006-10-04T07:31:09Z

This patch introduces the BEET mode (Bound End-to-End Tunnel) with as specified by the ietf draft at the following link: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-06.txt The patch provides only single family support (i.e. inner family = outer family).

[XFRM] STATE: Introduce route optimization mode.

2006-09-22T22:06:37Z

Route optimization is used with routing header and destination options header for Mobile IPv6. At outbound it makes header space like IPsec transport. At inbound it does nothing because exhdrs.c functions have responsibility to update skbuff information for these headers.
