Allows setting the advertised route lifetime, and also to set
it to 0 for advertising only the prefix.
From RFC4861:
A router might want to send Router Advertisements without advertising
itself as a default router. For instance, a router might advertise
prefixes for stateless address autoconfiguration while not wishing to
forward packets. Such a router sets the Router Lifetime field in
outgoing advertisements to zero.
Because of this, it will take some time to detangle the licensing under net/. Many new features, original features were added to the NuttX network. Clearly, any references to Adam Dunkels in the files that implement these new features that have no counterpart in uIP 1.0 are errors.
This PR removes the references and converts the license headers to Apache 2.0 where possible. The affected files include only (1) the implementation of IPv6 (including neighbor support under ICMPv6) and (2) Raw sockets. Neither of these features are present in uIP 1.0 and the licenses can be freely updated.
net/mld: Checksum calculation needs to know the full size of the IPv6 header, including the size of the extension headers. The payload size in the IPv64 header must include the extension headers (not considered part of the header in this case). Fixes a few additional errors in size, endian-ness and checksum calculations. Wireshark now reports the the outgoing Report has a good checksum.
net/mld/mld_query.c: Add a cast to assure that the left shift does not overflow.
This makes the user interface a little hostile. People thing of an MTU of 1500 bytes, but the corresponding packet is really 1514 bytes (including the 14 byte Ethernet header). A more friendly solution would configure the MTU (as before), but then derive the packet buffer size by adding the MAC header length. Instead, we define the packet buffer size then derive the MTU.
The MTU is not common currency in networking. On the wire, the only real issue is the MSS which is derived from MTU by subtracting the IP header and TCP header sizes (for the case of TCP). Now it is derived for the PKTSIZE by subtracting the IP header, the TCP header, and the MAC header sizes. So we should be all good and without the recurring 14 byte error in MTU's and MSS's.
Squashed commit of the following:
Trivial update to fix some spacing issues.
net/: Rename several macros containing _MTU to _PKTSIZE.
net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_SLIP_MTU to CONFIG_NET_SLIP_PKTSIZE and similarly for CONFIG_NET_TUN_MTU. These are not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. These are the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_6LOWPAN_MTU to CONFIG_NET_6LOWPAN_PKTSIZE and similarly for CONFIG_NET_TUN_MTU. These are not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. These are the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_ETH_MTU to CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE. This is not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. This is the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
net/: Rename the file d_mtu in the network driver structure to d_pktsize. That value saved there is not the MTU. The packetsize is the memory large enough to hold the maximum packet PLUS the size of the link layer header. The MTU does not include the link layer header.

Subject: [PATCH] ICMPv6: fix router advertisement
Fixes several errors preventing icmpv6_radvertise.c from being compiled. Fixes conversions to network byte order (namely vlifetime, plifetime, mtu).
IPv6 source address is set to link-local IP address instead of the address in the netdev structure. This is in compliance to RFC 4861. RA didn't work on Linux before this change.
Finally, router prefix and prefix length are derived from the IPv6 address and netmask in the netdev structure. This seems to make more sense than using a predefined, separate prefix from the config.
