IPPORT_RESERVED that is used for selection when bind() is told to allocate
a reserved port.
Also, implement simple sanity checking for all the addresses set, to make
it a little harder for a user/sysadmin to shoot themselves in the feet.
This stuff should not be too destructive if the IPDIVERT is not compiled in..
be aware that this changes the size of the ip_fw struct
so ipfw needs to be recompiled to use it.. more changes coming to clean this up.

configurations). As much as I dislike firewalls, this is one thing I
I was not prepared to break by default.. :-)
Allow the user to nominate one of three ranges of port numbers as
candidates for selecting a local address to replace a zero port number.
The ranges are selected via a setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_PORTRANGE, &arg)
call. The three ranges are: default, high (to bypass firewalls) and
low (to get a port below 1024).
The default and high port ranges are sysctl settable under sysctl
net.inet.ip.portrange.*
This code also fixes a potential deadlock if the system accidently ran out
of local port addresses. It'd drop into an infinite while loop.
The secure port selection (for root) should reduce overheads and increase
reliability of rlogin/rlogind/rsh/rshd if they are modified to take
advantage of it.

to 20000 through 30000. These numbers are used for local IP port numbers
when an explicit address is not specified.
The values are sysctl modifiable under: net.inet.ip.port_{first|last}_auto
These numbers do not overlap with any known server addresses, without going
above 32768 which are "negative" on some other implementations.
20000 through 30000 is 2.5 times larger than the old range, but some have
suggested even that may not be enough... (gasp!) Setting a low address
of 10000 should be plenty.. :-)

There should probably be a standard way of getting the same information
going the other way.
high load:
1) If there ever get to be more than net.inet.ip.rtmaxcache entries
in the cache, in_rtqtimo() will reduce net.inet.ip.rtexpire by
1/3 and do another round, unles net.inet.ip.rtexpire is less than
net.inet.ip.rtminexpire, and never more than once in ten minutes
(rtq_timeout).
2) If net.inet.ip.rtexpire is set to zero, don't bother to cache
anything.
to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):
- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.
What still needs to be done:
- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.
Some notes about the porting process:
In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.
I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.
