* Remove Capabilities and NICID methods from NetworkEndpoint.
* Remove linkEP and stack parameters from NetworkProtocol.NewEndpoint.
The LinkEndpoint can be fetched from the NetworkInterface. The stack
is passed to the NetworkProtocol when it is created so the
NetworkEndpoint can get it from its protocol.
* Remove stack parameter from TransportProtocol.NewEndpoint.
Like the NetworkProtocol/Endpoint, the stack is passed to the
TransportProtocol when it is created.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 334332721
* Add network address to network endpoints.
Hold network-specific state in the NetworkEndpoint instead of the stack.
This results in the stack no longer needing to "know" about the network
endpoints and special case certain work for various endpoints
(e.g. IPv6 DAD).
* Provide NetworkEndpoints with an NetworkInterface interface.
Instead of just passing the NIC ID of a NIC, pass an interface so the
network endpoint may query other information about the NIC such as
whether or not it is a loopback device.
* Move NDP code and state to the IPv6 package.
NDP is IPv6 specific so there is no need for it to live in the stack.
* Control forwarding through NetworkProtocols instead of Stack
Forwarding should be controlled on a per-network protocol basis so
forwarding configurations are now controlled through network protocols.
* Remove stack.referencedNetworkEndpoint.
Now that addresses are exposed via AddressEndpoint and only one
NetworkEndpoint is created per interface, there is no need for a
referenced NetworkEndpoint.
* Assume network teardown methods are infallible.

Network or transport protocols may want to reach the stack. Support this
by letting the stack create the protocol instances so it can pass a
reference to itself at protocol creation time.
Note, protocols do not yet use the stack in this CL but later CLs will
make use of the stack from protocols.

This change adds an option to replace the current implementation of ARP through
linkAddrCache, with an implementation of NUD through neighborCache. Switching
to using NUD for both ARP and NDP is beneficial for the reasons described by
RFC 4861 Section 3.1:
"[Using NUD] significantly improves the robustness of packet delivery in the
presence of failing routers, partially failing or partitioned links, or nodes
that change their link-layer addresses. For instance, mobile nodes can move
off-link without losing any connectivity due to stale ARP caches."
"Unlike ARP, Neighbor Unreachability Detection detects half-link failures and
avoids sending traffic to neighbors with which two-way connectivity is
absent."
Along with these changes exposes the API for querying and operating the
neighbor cache. Operations include:
- Create a static entry
- List all entries
- Delete all entries
- Remove an entry by address
This also exposes the API to change the NUD protocol constants on a per-NIC
basis to allow Neighbor Discovery to operate over links with widely varying
performance characteristics. See [RFC 4861 Section 10][1] for the list of
constants.
Finally, an API for subscribing to NUD state changes is exposed through
NUDDispatcher. See [RFC 4861 Appendix C][3] for the list of edges.

The NetworkEndpoint does not need to be created for each address.
Most of the work the NetworkEndpoint does is address agnostic.

This is a preparatory commit for a larger commit working on
ICMP generation in error cases.
This is removal of technical debt and cleanup in the gvisor code
as part of gvisor issue 2211.
Updates #2211.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 326615389
Formerly, when a packet is constructed or parsed, all headers are set by the
client code. This almost always involved prepending to pk.Header buffer or
trimming pk.Data portion. This is known to prone to bugs, due to the complexity
and number of the invariants assumed across netstack to maintain.
In the new PacketHeader API, client will call Push()/Consume() method to
construct/parse an outgoing/incoming packet. All invariants, such as slicing
and trimming, are maintained by the API itself.
NewPacketBuffer() is introduced to create new PacketBuffer. Zero value is no
longer valid.
PacketBuffer now assumes the packet is a concatenation of following portions:
* LinkHeader
* NetworkHeader
* TransportHeader
* Data
Any of them could be empty, or zero-length.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 326507688
Netstack has traditionally parsed headers on-demand as a packet moves up the
stack. This is conceptually simple and convenient, but incompatible with
iptables, where headers can be inspected and mangled before even a routing
decision is made.
This changes header parsing to happen early in the incoming packet path, as soon
as the NIC gets the packet from a link endpoint. Even if an invalid packet is
found (e.g. a TCP header of insufficient length), the packet is passed up the
stack for proper stats bookkeeping.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 315179302
Historically we've been passing PacketBuffer by shallow copying through out
the stack. Right now, this is only correct as the caller would not use
PacketBuffer after passing into the next layer in netstack.
With new buffer management effort in gVisor/netstack, PacketBuffer will
own a Buffer (to be added). Internally, both PacketBuffer and Buffer may
have pointers and shallow copying shouldn't be used.

Better validate NDP NAs options before updating the link address cache.
Test: stack_test.TestNeighorAdvertisementWithTargetLinkLayerOption
PiperOrigin-RevId: 306962924
Better validate NDP NS messages and their options before doing work in
response to them. Also make sure that NA messages sent in response to
an NS use the correct IPv6 and link-layer addresses so they are
routed properly and received by the right node.
Test: stack_test.TestNeighorSolicitationResponse
PiperOrigin-RevId: 305799054
As per RFC 6980 section 5, nodes MUST silently ignore NDP messages if
the packet carrying them include an IPv6 Fragmentation Header.

This change validates incoming NDP Router Advertisements as per RFC 4861 section
6.1.2. It also includes the skeleton to handle Router Advertiements that arrive
on some NIC.

not dropped.

NDP Neighbor Solicitations sent during Duplicate Address Detection must have an
IP hop limit of 255, as all NDP Neighbor Solicitations should have.
Test: Test that DAD messages have the IPv6 hop limit field set to 255.
