28.Dt NG_TCPMSS 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm ng_tcpmss
32.Nd "netgraph node to adjust TCP MSS option"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In netgraph.h
35.In netgraph/ng_tcpmss.h
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm tcpmss
39node type is designed to alter the Maximum Segment Size option
40of TCP packets.
41This node accepts an arbitrary number of hooks.
42Initially a new hook is considered unconfigured.
43The
44.Dv NG_TCPMSS_CONFIG
45control message is used to configure a hook.
46.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
47This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following.
48.Bl -tag -width indent
49.It Dv NGM_TCPMSS_CONFIG Pq Li config
50This control message configures node to do given MSS adjusting on
51a particular hook.
52It requires the
53.Vt "struct ng_tcpmss_config"
54to be supplied as an argument:
55.Bd -literal
56struct ng_tcpmss_config {
57	char		inHook[NG_HOOKSIZ];
58	char		outHook[NG_HOOKSIZ];
59	uint16_t	maxMSS;
60}
61.Ed
62.Pp
63This means: packets received on
64.Va inHook
65would be checked for TCP MSS option and the latter would be
66reduced down to
67.Va maxMSS
68if it exceeds
69.Va maxMSS .
70After that, packets would be sent to hook
71.Va outHook .
72.It Dv NGM_TCPMSS_GET_STATS Pq Li getstats
73This control message obtains statistics for a given hook.
74The statistics are returned in
75.Vt "struct ng_tcpmss_hookstat" :
76.Bd -literal
77struct ng_tcpmss_hookstat {
78	uint64_t	Octets;		/* total bytes */
79	uint64_t	Packets;	/* total packets */
80	uint16_t	maxMSS;		/* maximum MSS */
81	uint64_t	SYNPkts;	/* TCP SYN packets */
82	uint64_t	FixedPkts;	/* changed packets */
83};
84.Ed
85.It Dv NGM_TCPMSS_CLR_STATS Pq Li clrstats
86This control message clears statistics for a given hook.
87.It Dv NGM_TCPMSS_GETCLR_STATS Pq Li getclrstats
88This control message obtains and clears statistics for a given hook.
89.El
90.Sh EXAMPLES
91In the following example, packets are injected into the
92.Nm tcpmss
93node using the
94.Xr ng_ipfw 4
95node.
96.Bd -literal -offset indent
97# Create tcpmss node and connect it to ng_ipfw node
98ngctl mkpeer ipfw: tcpmss 100 qqq
99
100# Adjust MSS to 1452
101ngctl msg ipfw:100 config '{ inHook="qqq" outHook="qqq" maxMSS=1452 }'
102
103# Divert traffic into tcpmss node
104ipfw add 300 netgraph 100 tcp from any to any tcpflags syn out via fxp0
105
106# Let packets continue with ipfw after being hacked
107sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0
108.Ed
109.Sh SHUTDOWN
110This node shuts down upon receipt of an
111.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
112control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.

116.Sh HISTORY
117The
118.Nm
119node type was implemented in
