Here are new patches to use NetBSD's IPFLOW stuff on -current. To
use, store ipflow.c in /sys/netinet, then add IPFLOW to your kernel
config. After booting, activate with:
These appear to contain the broken header checksumming code. That'll need
to be fixed before these are integrated. There is a NetBSD #5380 open on
this - author Dennis Ferguson <dennis@juniper.net>.
Text from PR#5380 for proposed fix:
>Given an htons() macro which compiles to a constant with a constant
>argument the following code fragment avoids generating a 0xffff
>checksum, produces a correct checksum in all cases, avoids the #if's,
>and does the operation with a single comparison and addition on
>machines of either byte order.
