- bool "Networking support"
- select NLATTR

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

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

- ---help---
- These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local

- your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
- system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
- other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
- allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).
- For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
- Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
- If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
- "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
- behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
- /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
- <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.

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