- tristate "DECnet Support"
- ---help---
- The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by
- Digital (now Compaq). It provides reliable stream and sequenced
- packet communications over which run a variety of services similar
- to those which run over TCP/IP.
- To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please
- look at Patrick Caulfield's web site:
- <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>.
- More detailed documentation is available in
- <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt>.
- Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support"
- below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid
- in configuration at run time.
- The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
- inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
- The module is called decnet.
- config DECNET_ROUTER
- bool "DECnet: router support"
- depends on DECNET
- select FIB_RULES
- ---help---
- Add support for turning your DECnet Endnode into a level 1 or 2
- router. This is an experimental, but functional option. If you
- do say Y here, then make sure that you also say Y to "Kernel/User
- network link driver", "Routing messages" and "Network packet
- filtering". The first two are required to allow configuration via
- rtnetlink (you will need Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package
- from <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>). The "Network packet
- filtering" option will be required for the forthcoming routing daemon
- to work.
- See <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt> for more information.
