Implement PLPMTUD blackhole detection (RFC 4821), inspired by code
from xnu sources. If we encounter a network where ICMP is blocked
the Needs Frag indicator may not propagate back to us. Attempt to
downshift the mss once to a preconfigured value.
Default this feature to off for now while we do not have a full PLPMTUD
implementation in our stack.
Adds the following new sysctl's for control:
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_detection -- turns on/off this feature
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_mss -- mss to try for ipv4
net.inet.tcp.v6pmtud_blackhole_mss -- mss to try for ipv6
Adds the following new sysctl's for monitoring:
- Number of times the code was activated to attempt a mss downshift
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_activated
- Number of times the blackhole mss was used in an attempt to downshift
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_min_activated
- Number of times that we failed to connect after we downshifted the mss
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_failed
