local-name (string): this site's name for itself

link (netlink closure)
- comm (comm closure)
+ comm (one or more comm closures): if there is more than one, the

+ them.
resolver (resolver closure)
random (randomsrc closure)
local-key (rsaprivkey closure)
transform (transform closure): how to mangle packets sent between sites
dh (dh closure)
hash (hash closure)
- key-lifetime (integer): max lifetime of a session key, in ms [one hour]
+ key-lifetime (integer): max lifetime of a session key, in ms
+ [one hour; mobile: 2 days]
setup-retries (integer): max number of times to transmit a key negotiation
- packet [5]
+ packet [5; mobile: 30]
setup-timeout (integer): time between retransmissions of key negotiation
- packets, in ms [1000]

wait-time (integer): after failed key setup, wait this long (in ms) before

+ allowing another attempt [20000; mobile: 10000]
renegotiate-time (integer): if we see traffic on the link after this time
- then renegotiate another session key immediately [depends on key-lifetime]
- keepalive (bool): if True then attempt always to keep a valid session key
+ then renegotiate another session key immediately (in ms)
+ [half key-lifetime, or key-lifetime minus 5 mins (mobile: 12 hours),
+ whichever is longer].
+ keepalive (bool): if True then attempt always to keep a valid session key.
+ Not actually currently implemented. [false]
log-events (string list): types of events to log for this site
unexpected: unexpected key setup packets (may be late retransmissions)
setup-init: start of attempt to setup a session key
packet-drop: whenever we throw away an outgoing packet
dump-packets: every key setup packet we see
errors: failure of name resolution, internal errors
+ peer-addrs: changes to sets of peer addresses (interesting for mobile peers)
all: everything (too much!)
+ mobile (bool): if True then peer is "mobile" ie we assume it may
+ change its apparent IP address and port number without either it
+ or us being aware of the change; so, we remember the last several
+ port/addr pairs we've seen and send packets to all of them
+ (subject to a timeout). We maintain one set of addresses for key
+ setup exchanges, and another for data traffic. Two communicating
+ peers must not each regard the other as mobile, or all the traffic
+ in each direction will be triplicated (strictly, transmitted
+ mobile-peers-max times) and anyway two peers whose public contact
+ address may suddenly change couldn't communicate reliably because
+ their contact addresses might both change at once. [false]
+ mobile-peers-max (integer): Maximum number of peer port/addr pairs we
+ remember and send to. Must be at least 1 and no more than 5. [3]
+ mobile-peer-expiry (integer): For "mobile" peers only, the length
+ of time (in seconds) for which we will keep sending to multiple
+ address/ports from which we have not seen incoming traffic. [120]
+ local-mobile (bool): if True then other peers have been told we are
+ "mobile". This should be True iff the peers' site configurations
+ for us have "mobile True" (and if we find a site configuration for
+ ourselves in the config, we insist on this). The effect is to
+ check that there are no links both ends of which are allegedly
+ mobile (which is not supported, so those links are ignored) and
+ to change some of the tuning parameter defaults. [false]
+ mtu-target (integer): Desired value of the inter-site MTU for this
+ peering. This value will be advertised to the peer (which ought
+ to affect incoming packets), and if the peer advertises an MTU its
+ value will be combined with this setting to compute the inter-site
+ MTU. (secnet will still accept packets which exceed the
+ (negotiated or assumed) inter-site MTU.) Setting a lower
+ inter-site MTU can be used to try to restrict the sizes of the
+ packets sent over the underlying public network (e.g. to work
+ around network braindamage). It is not normally useful to set a
+ larger value for mtu-target than the VPN's general MTU (which
+ should be reflected in the local private interface MTU, ie the mtu
+ parameter to netlink). If this parameter is not set, or is set
+ to 0, the default is to use the local private link mtu.
+
+Links involving mobile peers have some different tuning parameter
+default values, which are generally more aggressive about retrying key
+setup but more relaxed about using old keys. These are noted with
+"mobile:", above, and apply whether the mobile peer is local or
+remote.

other tunnels as well as the host (used for mobile devices like laptops)
soft: remove these routes from the host's routing table when
the tunnel link quality is zero
- mtu (integer): default MTU over this link; may be updated by tunnel code
+ mtu (integer): MTU of host's tunnel interface
Netlink will dump its current routing table to the system/log on
receipt of SIGUSR1.
