9 The Transparent Inter Process Communication (TIPC) protocol is

10 specially designed for intra cluster communication. This protocol

11 originates from Ericsson where it has been used in carrier grade

12 cluster applications for many years.

14 For more information about TIPC, see http://tipc.sourceforge.net.

16 This protocol support is also available as a module ( = code which

17 can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you

18 want). The module will be called tipc. If you want to compile it

19 as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.

21 If in doubt, say N.

26 bool "Advanced TIPC configuration"

27 default n

28 help

29 Saying Y here will open some advanced configuration for TIPC.

30 Most users do not need to bother; if unsure, just say N.

32 config TIPC_NODES

33 int "Maximum number of nodes in a cluster"

34 depends on TIPC_ADVANCED

35 range 8 2047

36 default "255"

37 help

38 Specifies how many nodes can be supported in a TIPC cluster.

39 Can range from 8 to 2047 nodes; default is 255.

41 Setting this to a smaller value saves some memory;

42 setting it to higher allows for more nodes.

44 config TIPC_PORTS

45 int "Maximum number of ports in a node"

46 depends on TIPC_ADVANCED

47 range 127 65535

48 default "8191"

49 help

50 Specifies how many ports can be supported by a node.

51 Can range from 127 to 65535 ports; default is 8191.

53 Setting this to a smaller value saves some memory,

54 setting it to higher allows for more ports.

56 config TIPC_LOG

57 int "Size of log buffer"

58 depends on TIPC_ADVANCED

59 range 0 32768

60 default "0"

61 help

62 Size (in bytes) of TIPC's internal log buffer, which records the

63 occurrence of significant events. Can range from 0 to 32768 bytes;

64 default is 0.

66 There is no need to enable the log buffer unless the node will be

67 managed remotely via TIPC.

69 config TIPC_DEBUG

70 bool "Enable debug messages"

71 default n

72 help

73 This enables debugging of TIPC.

75 Only say Y here if you are having trouble with TIPC. It will

76 enable the display of detailed information about what is going on.
