148: man page.
149: <li>When sending TCP streams they are locally stored in large
150: mbuf clusters to improve memory management.
151: The maximum TCP send and receive buffer size has been
152: increased from 256MB to 2GB.

171: <li>When passing packets from the network stack to the
172: interface layer, make sure that they have no pointers to
173: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
174: which could result in a memory free operation at the wrong
175: protection level.

178: af-to ICMP packet conversions.

182: Drop empty atomic fragments early.
183: Be more paranoid when IPv6 hop-by-hop headers appear after
184: fragment headers.
185: Follow RFC 5722 "Handling of Overlapping IPv6 Fragments"
186: more strictly in
187: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>.

192: may automatically group SA bundles together.
193: To make clear what is going on, the kernel provides this
194: information and ipsecctl -s sa prints IPsec SA bundles.

692: <p>
693: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
694: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
695: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
696: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
697: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
698: with a command like:
699:
700: <blockquote><pre>
701: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
702: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
703: </pre></blockquote>
704:
705: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
706: server.]
707: <p>
708: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
709: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
710: <p>
711: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
712: would like to know more, the mailing list
713: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
