* usr.sbin: Remove ancient SCCS tags.Warner Losh2023-11-271-2/+0
| | | | | | | | Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree were removed with a perl script. Sponsored by: Netflix

* Bump amount of queued packets in for unresolved ARP/NDP entries to 16.Alexander V. Chernikov2021-01-111-18/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently default behaviour is to keep only 1 packet per unresolved entry. Ability to queue more than one packet was added 10 years ago, in r215207, though the default value was kep intact. Things have changed since that time. Systems tend to initiate multiple connections at once for a variety of reasons. For example, recent kern/252278 bug report describe happy-eyeball DNS behaviour sending multiple requests to the DNS server. The primary driver for upper value for the queue length determination is memory consumption. Remote actors should not be able to easily exhaust local memory by sending packets to unresolved arp/ND entries. For now, bump value to 16 packets, to match Darwin implementation. The proper approach would be to switch the limit to calculate memory consumption instead of packet count and limit based on memory. We should MFC this with a variation of D22447.

* Renumber copyright clause 4Warner Losh2017-02-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

* Remove net.link.ether.inet.useloopback sysctl tunable. It was always on byGleb Smirnoff2013-11-051-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | default from the very beginning. It was placed in wrong namespace net.link.ether, originally it had been at another wrong namespace. It was incorrectly documented at incorrect manual page arp(8). Since new-ARP commit, the tunable have been consulted only on route addition, and ignored on route deletion. Behaviour of a system with tunable turned off is not fully correct, and has no advantages comparing to normal behavior. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=257689
