  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
  15           other computer.
  16
  17           If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
  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!

  76           your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
  77           system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any

 123         bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
 124         help
 125           Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
 126           that pass through your Linux box.
 127
 128           The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
 129           a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
 130           firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
 131           filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
 132           based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
 133           a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
 134           bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
 135           closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
 136           protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
 137           firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
 138           clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
 139           they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
 140           you say Y here.
 141
 142           You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
 143           the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
 144           globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
 145           of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
 146           the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
 147           forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
 148           modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
 149           firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
 150           replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
 151           correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
 152           are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
 153           reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
 154           run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
 155           using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
 156           called NAT (Network Address Translation).
 157
 158           Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
 159           the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
 160           box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
 161           typically a caching proxy server.
 162
 163           Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
 164           a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
 165           the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
 166           protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
 167           configuration).
 168
 169           Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
 170           masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
 171           proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
 172           <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
 173           these packages.

 453           The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual
 454           drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover
 455           instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to
 456           handle netdev register/unregister/link change/name change events
 457           on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the
 458           failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a
 459           VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows live
 460           migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the
 461           paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

 468           netlink. It provides better extensibility and some new features,
