167: man page.
168: <li>When sending TCP streams they are locally stored in large
169: mbuf clusters to improve memory management.
170: The maximum TCP send and receive buffer size has been
171: increased from 256MB to 2GB.
172: Note that this results in a different
173: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>

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

196: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
197: af-to ICMP packet conversions.

205: more strictly in
206: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>.

209: <li>Depending on the addresses,
210: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a>
211: may automatically group SA bundles together.
212: To make clear what is going on, the kernel provides this
213: information and ipsecctl -s sa prints IPsec SA bundles.
1.51 krw 214: <li>A new routing socket message type, RTM_PROPOSAL, was added to
215: facilitate future improvements to the network configuration process.

792: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
793: which are in a separate archive.
794: To extract:
795:
796: <blockquote><pre>
797: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
798: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
799: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
800: </pre></blockquote>
801:
802: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
803: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
804: To extract:
805:
806: <blockquote><pre>
807: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
808: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
809: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

812: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
813: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
814: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
815: Using these files
816: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
817: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

831: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
832: if you know nothing about ports
833: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
834: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
835: OpenBSD ports system.
836: <p>
837: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
838: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
839: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
840: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
841: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
842: with a command like:
843:
844: <blockquote><pre>
845: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
846: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
847: </pre></blockquote>
848:
849: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
850: server.]
851: <p>
852: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
853: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
854: <p>
855: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
856: would like to know more, the mailing list
857: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
