2020-05-06ipv6: Implement draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bisFernando Gont
Implement the upcoming rev of RFC4941 (IPv6 temporary addresses): https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis-09 * Reduces the default Valid Lifetime to 2 days The number of extra addresses employed when Valid Lifetime was 7 days exacerbated the stress caused on network elements/devices. Additionally, the motivation for temporary addresses is indeed privacy and reduced exposure. With a default Valid Lifetime of 7 days, an address that becomes revealed by active communication is reachable and exposed for one whole week. The only use case for a Valid Lifetime of 7 days could be some application that is expecting to have long lived connections. But if you want to have a long lived connections, you shouldn't be using a temporary address in the first place. Additionally, in the era of mobile devices, general applications should nevertheless be prepared and robust to address changes (e.g. nodes swap wifi <-> 4G, etc.) * Employs different IIDs for different prefixes To avoid network activity correlation among addresses configured for different prefixes * Uses a simpler algorithm for IID generation No need to store "history" anywhere Signed-off-by: Fernando Gont <fgont@si6networks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2020-04-30tcp: add hrtimer slack to sack compressionEric Dumazet
Add a sysctl to control hrtimer slack, default of 100 usec. This gives the opportunity to reduce system overhead, and help very short RTT flows.
