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

  33. This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages
  34. to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To
  35. achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the
  36. compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out
  37. which message to actually pass to the task.
  38. Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do

  52. These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
  53. Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
  54. your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
  55. system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
  56. other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
  57. allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

  61. If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and

  88. menuconfig NETFILTER
  89. bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
  90. ---help---
  91. Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
  92. that pass through your Linux box.
  93. The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
  94. a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
  95. firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
  96. filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
  97. based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
  98. a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
  99. bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
  100. closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
  101. protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
  102. firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
  103. clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
  104. they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
  105. you say Y here.
  106. You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
  107. the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
  108. globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
  109. of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
  110. the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
  111. forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
  112. modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
  113. firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
  114. replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
  115. correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
  116. are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
  117. reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
  118. run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
  119. using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
  120. called NAT (Network Address Translation).
  121. Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
  122. the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
  123. box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
  124. typically a caching proxy server.
  125. Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
  126. a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
  127. the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
  128. protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
  129. configuration).
  130. Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
  131. masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
  132. proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
  133. <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
  134. these packages.
