cvs commit: src/sys/netinet ip_id.c ip_input.c
dillon 2007/11/22 11:57:14 PST
DragonFly src repository
Modified files:
sys/netinet ip_id.c ip_input.c
Log:
Replace the very predictable 'random' IP sequence number generator with
something far less predictable. Use DragonFly's built-in PRNG and add a
shuffle algorithm. We eat 128KB of ram for the shuffle array but I've
pretty much had it with roll-your-own PRNGs. At least this way any PRNG
issues can be corrected in one place -- our system PRNG.
Turn net.inet.ip.random_id on by default. Eat the minor loss in performance.
On the bright side, our PRNG is very fast, so this should not represent
a burden.

the algorithm.
