Userspace network stack.
This is an extremely small network stack implementation, which works on top of new netchannels interface [1].
It was used as a base for Linux 2.6 netchannels alternative TCP/IP stack implementation
which was proven to be faster than existing Linux socket code.
Project is being actively developed, so there are no stable API, documentation
or some other interesting things. For usage examples please see main() function
in packet.c file.
Supported features:
* TCP/UDP sending and receiving.
* timestamp, window scaling, MSS TCP options.
* PAWS.
* slow start and congestion control.
* socket-like interface.
* IP processing code.
* complete retransmit algorithm.
* fast retransmit support.
* data split to MSS sized chunks.
* correct recv processing for bulk sending (although can stuck, which requires some tuning).
* support for TCP listen state (only point-to-point mode, i.e. no new data channels are created,
when new client is connected, instead state is changed according to protocol
(TCP state is changed to ESTABLISHED).
* ability to work with netchannels and packet socket.

1. Netchannel subsystem.

Compilation options.
make DEBUG=1 will enable huge amount of debug information
make NETCHANNEL=1 will use kernel netchannel subsystem instead of packet socket
Command line parameters.
-s saddr - source address of netchannel
-d daddr - destination address
-S sport - source port
-D dport - destination port
-p proto - protocol number (-6 - tcp (default), -17 - udp)
-l - create listen netchannel
-L - maximum number of packets in the netchannel kernel queue. Default 1024.
-b size - size of the message being sent by example code
-e eth_dst_addr - (used with packet socket) - remote ethernet address in 00:11:22:33:44:FF form
-i eth_out_index - (used with packet socket) - index of the device, which is used to send data,
usually 'lo' has 1, 'ethN' has N+1. If you renamed devices, then use 'ip addr' utility to find
this index (first number in the output lines).
-h - help
Examples.
TCP session:
sudo ./stack -s 192.168.4.81 -S 12345 -d 192.168.0.48 -D 22 -i 2 -e 00:11:09:61:EB:0E
This will create a TCP connection between 192.168.4.81:12345 and 192.168.0.24:22 via eth0 device.
Remote mac address (of the machine which owns 192.168.0.48 IP address) is 00:11:09:61:EB:0E.
