- tristate "Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)"
- ---help---
- ATM is a high-speed networking technology for Local Area Networks
- and Wide Area Networks. It uses a fixed packet size and is
- connection oriented, allowing for the negotiation of minimum
- bandwidth requirements.
- In order to participate in an ATM network, your Linux box needs an
- ATM networking card. If you have that, say Y here and to the driver
- of your ATM card below.
- Note that you need a set of user-space programs to actually make use
- of ATM. See the file <file:Documentation/networking/atm.txt> for
- further details.
- config ATM_CLIP
- tristate "Classical IP over ATM"
- depends on ATM && INET
- help
- Classical IP over ATM for PVCs and SVCs, supporting InARP and
- ATMARP. If you want to communication with other IP hosts on your ATM
- network, you will typically either say Y here or to "LAN Emulation
- (LANE)" below.
- config ATM_CLIP_NO_ICMP
- bool "Do NOT send ICMP if no neighbour"
- depends on ATM_CLIP
- help
- Normally, an "ICMP host unreachable" message is sent if a neighbour
- cannot be reached because there is no VC to it in the kernel's
- ATMARP table. This may cause problems when ATMARP table entries are
- briefly removed during revalidation. If you say Y here, packets to
- such neighbours are silently discarded instead.
- config ATM_LANE
- tristate "LAN Emulation (LANE) support"
- depends on ATM
- help
- LAN Emulation emulates services of existing LANs across an ATM
- network. Besides operating as a normal ATM end station client, Linux
- LANE client can also act as an proxy client bridging packets between
- ELAN and Ethernet segments. You need LANE if you want to try MPOA.
- config ATM_MPOA
- tristate "Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA) support"
- depends on ATM && INET && ATM_LANE!=n
- help
- Multi-Protocol Over ATM allows ATM edge devices such as routers,
- bridges and ATM attached hosts establish direct ATM VCs across
- subnetwork boundaries. These shortcut connections bypass routers
- enhancing overall network performance.
- config ATM_BR2684
- tristate "RFC1483/2684 Bridged protocols"
- depends on ATM && INET
- help
- ATM PVCs can carry ethernet PDUs according to RFC2684 (formerly 1483)
- This device will act like an ethernet from the kernels point of view,
- with the traffic being carried by ATM PVCs (currently 1 PVC/device).
- This is sometimes used over DSL lines. If in doubt, say N.
- config ATM_BR2684_IPFILTER
- bool "Per-VC IP filter kludge"
- depends on ATM_BR2684
- help
- This is an experimental mechanism for users who need to terminate a
- large number of IP-only vcc's. Do not enable this unless you are sure
- you know what you are doing.
