12 Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
13 The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
14 when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
d5950b43 15 other computer.
e446a276 16
d5950b43 17 If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
1da177e4
LT
18 should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
19 in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
20 contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
21 of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
22
23 For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
24 recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
25 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

40 This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages
41 to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To
42 achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the
43 compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out
44 which message to actually pass to the task.
45
46 Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do
47 compat-independent messages instead!

99 These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local

cf80efc2 101 your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
1da177e4

102 system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
103 other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
104 allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).
105
106 For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
107 Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
108 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
109
110 If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
111 "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
112 behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in

ef91fd52 148 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
a7f7f624 149 help
1da177e4
LT
150 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
151 that pass through your Linux box.
152
153 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
154 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
155 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
156 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
157 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
158 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
159 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
160 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
161 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
162 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
163 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
164 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
165 you say Y here.
166
167 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
168 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
169 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
170 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
171 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
172 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
173 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
174 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
175 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
176 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
177 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
178 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
179 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
180 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
181 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
182
183 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
184 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
185 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
186 typically a caching proxy server.
187
188 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
189 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
190 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
191 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
192 configuration).
193
194 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
195 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
196 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
197 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
198 these packages.

475 depends on PAGE_POOL
476 help
477 Enable page pool statistics to track page allocation and recycling
478 in page pools. This option incurs additional CPU cost in allocation
479 and recycle paths and additional memory cost to store the statistics.
480 These statistics are only available if this option is enabled and if
481 the driver using the page pool supports exporting this data.

485config FAILOVER
486 tristate "Generic failover module"
487 help
488 The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual
489 drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover
490 instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to
491 handle netdev register/unregister/link change/name change events
492 on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the
493 failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a
494 VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows live
495 migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the
496 paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
