32  * IP ID generation is a fascinating topic.
33  *
34  * In order to avoid ID collisions during packet reassembly, common sense
35  * dictates that the period between reuse of IDs be as large as possible.
36  * This leads to the classic implementation of a system-wide counter, thereby
37  * ensuring that IDs repeat only once every 2^16 packets.
38  *
39  * Subsequent security researchers have pointed out that using a global
40  * counter makes ID values predictable.  This predictability allows traffic
41  * analysis, idle scanning, and even packet injection in specific cases.
42  * These results suggest that IP IDs should be as random as possible.
43  *
44  * The "searchable queues" algorithm used in this IP ID implementation was
45  * proposed by Amit Klein.  It is a compromise between the above two
46  * viewpoints that has provable behavior that can be tuned to the user's
47  * requirements.
48  *
49  * The basic concept is that we supplement a standard random number generator
50  * with a queue of the last L IDs that we have handed out to ensure that all
51  * IDs have a period of at least L.
52  *
53  * To efficiently implement this idea, we keep two data structures: a
54  * circular array of IDs of size L and a bitstring of 65536 bits.
55  *
56  * To start, we ask the RNG for a new ID.  A quick index into the bitstring
57  * is used to determine if this is a recently used value.  The process is
58  * repeated until a value is returned that is not in the bitstring.
59  *
60  * Having found a usable ID, we remove the ID stored at the current position
61  * in the queue from the bitstring and replace it with our new ID.  Our new
62  * ID is then added to the bitstring and the queue pointer is incremented.
63  *
64  * The lower limit of 512 was chosen because there doesn't seem to be much
65  * point to having a smaller value.  The upper limit of 32768 was chosen for
66  * two reasons.  First, every step above 32768 decreases the entropy.  Taken
67  * to an extreme, 65533 would offer 1 bit of entropy.  Second, the number of
68  * attempts it takes the algorithm to find an unused ID drastically
69  * increases, killing performance.  The default value of 8192 was chosen
70  * because it provides a good tradeoff between randomness and non-repetition.
71  *
72  * With L=8192, the queue will use 16K of memory.  The bitstring always
73  * uses 8K of memory.  No memory is allocated until the use of random ids is
74  * enabled.
