26.Dt NG_TCPMSS 4
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm ng_tcpmss
30.Nd "netgraph node to adjust TCP MSS option"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.In netgraph.h
33.In netgraph/ng_tcpmss.h
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The
36.Nm tcpmss
37node type is designed to alter the Maximum Segment Size option
38of TCP packets.
39This node accepts an arbitrary number of hooks.
40Initially a new hook is considered unconfigured.
41The
42.Dv NG_TCPMSS_CONFIG
43control message is used to configure a hook.
44.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
45This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following.
46.Bl -tag -width foo
47.It Dv NGM_TCPMSS_CONFIG Pq Ic config
48This control message configures node to do given MSS adjusting on
49a particular hook.
50It requires the
51.Vt "struct ng_tcpmss_config"
52to be supplied as an argument:
53.Bd -literal
54struct ng_tcpmss_config {
55	char		inHook[NG_HOOKSIZ];
56	char		outHook[NG_HOOKSIZ];
57	uint16_t	maxMSS;
58}
59.Ed
60.Pp
61This means: packets received on
62.Va inHook
63would be checked for TCP MSS option and the latter would be
64reduced down to
65.Va maxMSS
66if it exceeds
67.Va maxMSS .
68After that, packets would be sent to hook
69.Va outHook .
70.It Dv NGM_TCPMSS_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
71This control message obtains statistics for a given hook.
72The statistics are returned in
73.Vt "struct ng_tcpmss_hookstat" :
74.Bd -literal
75struct ng_tcpmss_hookstat {
76	uint64_t	Octets;		/* total bytes */
77	uint64_t	Packets;	/* total packets */
78	uint16_t	maxMSS;		/* maximum MSS */
79	uint64_t	SYNPkts;	/* TCP SYN packets */
80	uint64_t	FixedPkts;	/* changed packets */
81};
82.Ed
83.It Dv NGM_TCPMSS_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
84This control message clears statistics for a given hook.
85.It Dv NGM_TCPMSS_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
86This control message obtains and clears statistics for a given hook.
87.El
88.Sh EXAMPLES
89In the following example, packets are injected into the
90.Nm tcpmss
91node using the
92.Xr ng_ipfw 4
93node.
94.Bd -literal -offset indent
95# Create tcpmss node and connect it to ng_ipfw node
96ngctl mkpeer ipfw: tcpmss 100 qqq
97
98# Adjust MSS to 1452
99ngctl msg ipfw:100 config '{ inHook="qqq" outHook="qqq" maxMSS=1452 }'
100
101# Divert traffic into tcpmss node
102ipfw add 300 netgraph 100 tcp from any to any tcpflags syn out via fxp0
103
104# Let packets continue with ipfw after being hacked
105sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0
106.Ed
107.Sh SHUTDOWN
108This node shuts down upon receipt of an
109.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
110control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.

114.Sh HISTORY
115The
116.Nm
117node type was implemented in
