Here is summary of differences between KAME stable 980731 and 980930.
<<IPv4>>
- Added our home-brew NAT code, called "SuMiRe". (FreeBSD/BSDI only)
NOTE: Since it lacks documentations at this moment, we don't recommend
you to try this right now.
<<IPv6>>
- Supported router alert option to some extent.
- Supported multicast listener discovery to some extent(host side).
- Improved the management code for information obtained from router
advertisements.
- rtsold: router solicitation daemon, for interface management on endhosts.
- Router renumbering support is ongoing. (is not working right now).
- Number of multicast groups per socket is now unlimited; it was limited to
20 in the previous stable release.
- Added a new mechanism to manage prefixes advertised by router advertisements
for mobile stations.
- IPv6 version of multicast kludge; unicast addresses can be safely deleted
from an interface even if there is a multicast group on the interface.
- More conformance to Neighbor Discovery specification, especially about
processing router advertisements(see CHANGELOG).
- IPV6_{ADD,DROP}_MEMBERSHIP is renamed to IPV6_{JOIN,LEAVE}_MEMBERSHIP.
NOTE: latest revision of bsd-api-new-02, called "02a", renamed this again
into IPV6_{JOIN,LEAVE}_GROUP. This kit uses definition based on "old 02".
- ICMP Redirects to on-link destinations, that is, not to better routers.
- ICMP error rate limitation.
<<IPv6 API>>
- "struct sockaddr_in6" was changed again to conform to
draft-ietf-ipngwg-bsd-api-new-02 spec. sin6_ifindex member was
removed, and struct members were reordered.
NOTE: ALL THE USERLAND TOOLS MUST BE RECOMPILED.
- Some library functions, inet6_option_XXX, are newly implemented,
which are defined in RFC 2292(advanced sockets API).
<<IPsec>>
- "racoon" IKE daemon is now working in limited situations.
- Proper source IPv4 address will be used for outer IPv4 header of
IPv4 IPsec tunnel. Now you can configure VPN network with KAME routers.
- Key management code is improved.
<<Userland>>
- EPRT/EPSV support for ftp/ftpd. (rfc2428)
- getnodeby{addr,name} has renamed to getipnodeby{addr,name} to conform
to draft-ietf-ipngwg-bsd-api-new-02 spec.
- Bunch of updates/additions in IPv6-ready ports collection (FreeBSD kit only).
- Some of IPv6 enable patches are now distributed separately from FreeBSD
ports directory, so that BSDI/NetBSD users can enjoy those patches.
Please check ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/.
<<Others>>
- For BSDI, ATM driver based on ALTQ kit has been merged into the kernel.
ATM userland tools must be grabbed from ALTQ kit.
visit ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/.
- Synchronized some of the kernel source code among three operating systems
we support (FreeBSD/BSDI/NetBSD), to ease maintainance.
