If MLD support is enabled, each locally assigned IPv6 address in the
appropriate state must be a member of the solicited-node multicast
group corresponding to that address. Ensure that this is always the
case by (re-)deciding on the membership upon every address state
change. By doing so, this patch enforces that user-initiated state
changes to addresses (e.g., deletion) never cause a desynchronization
with the corresponding solicited-node multicast group membership,
thereby making such user-initiated state changes simpler and safer.
lwIP produces a TCP Initial Sequence Number (ISN) for each new TCP
connection. The current algorithm is simple and predictable however.
The result is that lwIP TCP connections may be the target of TCP
spoofing attacks. The problem of such attacks is well known, and a
recommended ISN generation algorithm is standardized in RFC 6528.
This algorithm requires a high-resolution timer and cryptographic
hashing function, though. The implementation (or best-effort
approximation) of both of these aspects is well beyond the scope of
lwIP itself.
For that reason, this patch adds LWIP_HOOK_TCP_ISN, a hook that
allows each platform to implement its own ISN generation using
locally available means. The hook provides full flexibility, in
that the hook may generate anything from a simple random number
(by being set to LWIP_RAND()) to a full RFC 6528 implementation.
Implementation note:
Users of the hook would typically declare the function prototype of
the hook function in arch/cc.h, as this is the last place where such
prototypes can be supplied. However, at that point, the ip_addr_t
type has not yet been defined. For that reason, this patch removes
the leading underscore from "struct _ip_addr", so that a prototype
of the hook function can use "struct ip_addr" instead of "ip_addr_t".

Previously, ethip6 and lowpan6 each had their own copy of code that
used internal nd6 data structures to decide whether to send a packet
on the local link right away, or queue it while nd6 performed local
address resolution. This patch moves that code into nd6, thereby
eliminating all remaining cases of external access to internal nd6
data structures, as well as the need to expose two specific nd6
functions.
As a side effect, the patch effectively fixes two bugs in the lowpan6
code that were already fixed in the ethip6 code.
This patch rearranges the code division between nd6.c and ip6.c such
that the latter does not need to access ND6-internal data structures
(specifically, "default_router_list") directly anymore.
The new function, while currently not used internally, allows external
code to clear the ND destination cache in the case that it may have
become inconsistent with the current situation, for example as the
result of a change of locally assigned addresses, or a change in
routing tables implemented through the LWIP_HOOK_ND6_GET_GW hook.
bind() may change IP type when previous type is IPADDR_TYPE_ANY
connect() IP type must exactly match bind IP type
Use correct IPADDRx_ANY type when calling ip_route()
IPv6 netconns are created as IPADDR_TYPE_ANY raw/udp/tcp PCBs internally
bind, connect and sendto now accept IPv6 mapped IPv4 addresses or IPv4 addresses as argument
getaddr and receive functions now return IPv6 mapped IPv4 addresses instead of IPv4 addresses
This behavior is close to BSD socket API
This commit cleans up a duplicate #if check for LWIP_WND_SCALE in init.c
which was already under #if LWIP_WND_SCALE
This commit also improves documentation for TCP_WND in the window scaling
case to communicate TCP_WND is always the calculated (scaled) window value,
not the value reported in the TCP header
Our developers were confused by having to set both the window and scaling
factor and only after studying the usage of TCP_WND throughout the code, was
it determined to be the calculated (scaled) window
