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.

d5950b43 17 If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
1da177e4

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

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!

ef91fd52 120 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
1da177e4
LT
121 ---help---
122 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
123 that pass through your Linux box.
124
125 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
126 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
127 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
128 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
129 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
130 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
131 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
132 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
133 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
134 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
135 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
136 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
137 you say Y here.
138
139 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
140 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
141 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
142 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
143 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
144 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
145 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
146 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
147 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
148 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
149 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
150 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
151 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
152 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
153 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
154
155 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
156 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
157 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
158 typically a caching proxy server.
159
160 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
161 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
162 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
163 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
164 configuration).
165
166 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
167 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
168 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
169 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
170 these packages.
