    sys/netinet          tcp_input.c tcp_var.h 
  Log:
  Tighten up reset handling in order to make reset attacks as difficult as
  possible while maintaining compatibility with the widest range of TCP stacks.
  
  The algorithm is as follows:
  
  ---
  For connections in the ESTABLISHED state, only resets with
  sequence numbers exactly matching last_ack_sent will cause a reset,
  all other segments will be silently dropped.
  
  For connections in all other states, a reset anywhere in the window
  will cause the connection to be reset.  All other segments will be
  silently dropped.
  ---
  
  The necessity of accepting all in-window resets was discovered
  by jayanth and jlemon, both of whom have seen TCP stacks that
  will respond to FIN-ACK packets with resets not meeting the
  strict last_ack_sent check.
