173: man page.
174: <li>When sending TCP streams they are locally stored in large
175: mbuf clusters to improve memory management.
176: The maximum TCP send and receive buffer size has been
177: increased from 256MB to 2GB.

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

203: af-to ICMP packet conversions.

205: some corner cases.
206: <li>Improve IPv6 fragment processing.
207: Drop empty atomic fragments early.
208: Be more paranoid when IPv6 hop-by-hop headers appear after
209: fragment headers.
210: Follow RFC 5722 "Handling of Overlapping IPv6 Fragments"
211: more strictly in
212: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>.

216: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a>
217: may automatically group SA bundles together.
218: To make clear what is going on, the kernel provides this
219: information and ipsecctl -s sa prints IPsec SA bundles.
1.51 krw 220: <li>A new routing socket message type, RTM_PROPOSAL, was added to
221: facilitate future improvements to the network configuration process.

814: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
815: which are in a separate archive.
816: To extract:
817:
818: <blockquote><pre>
819: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
820: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
821: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

823:
824: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
825: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
826: To extract:
827:
828: <blockquote><pre>
829: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

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

853: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
854: if you know nothing about ports
855: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
856: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
857: OpenBSD ports system.
858: <p>
859: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
860: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
861: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
862: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
863: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
864: with a command like:
865:
866: <blockquote><pre>
867: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
868: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
869: </pre></blockquote>
870:
871: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
872: server.]
873: <p>
874: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
875: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
876: <p>
877: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
878: would like to know more, the mailing list
879: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
