4config IP_MULTICAST
5	bool "IP: multicasting"
6	help
7	  This is code for addressing several networked computers at once,
8	  enlarging your kernel by about 2 KB. You need multicasting if you
9	  intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top
10	  of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More
11	  information about the MBONE is on the WWW at
12	  <http://www.savetz.com/mbone/>. For most people, it's safe to say N.
13
14config IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
15	bool "IP: advanced router"
16	---help---
17	  If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
18	  computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
19	  will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
20	  control about the routing process.
21
22	  The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
23	  answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
24	  questions about advanced routing.
25
26	  Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
27	  forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
28	  file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
29	  line
30
31	  echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
32
33	  at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.
34
35	  If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which
36	  automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
37	  for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
38	  arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
39	  so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
40	  asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
41	  than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
42	  host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
43	  rp_filter on use:
44
45	  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter
46	   or
47	  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
48
49	  Note that some distributions enable it in startup scripts.
50	  For details about rp_filter strict and loose mode read
51	  <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
52
53	  If unsure, say N here.

60	  Useful for testing and measuring TRIE performance.
61
62config IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES
63	bool "IP: policy routing"
64	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
65	select FIB_RULES
66	---help---
67	  Normally, a router decides what to do with a received packet based
68	  solely on the packet's final destination address. If you say Y here,
69	  the Linux router will also be able to take the packet's source
70	  address into account. Furthermore, the TOS (Type-Of-Service) field
71	  of the packet can be used for routing decisions as well.
72
73	  If you need more information, see the Linux Advanced
74	  Routing and Traffic Control documentation at
75	  <http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.html>
76
77	  If unsure, say N.
78
79config IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH
80	bool "IP: equal cost multipath"
81	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
82	help
83	  Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
84	  a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
85	  however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
86	  pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
87	  for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
88	  equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
89	  if a matching packet arrives.
90
91config IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE
92	bool "IP: verbose route monitoring"
93	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
94	help
95	  If you say Y here, which is recommended, then the kernel will print
96	  verbose messages regarding the routing, for example warnings about
97	  received packets which look strange and could be evidence of an
98	  attack or a misconfigured system somewhere. The information is
99	  handled by the klogd daemon which is responsible for kernel messages
100	  ("man klogd").
101
102config IP_ROUTE_CLASSID

107	help
108	  This enables automatic configuration of IP addresses of devices and
109	  of the routing table during kernel boot, based on either information
110	  supplied on the kernel command line or by BOOTP or RARP protocols.
111	  You need to say Y only for diskless machines requiring network
112	  access to boot (in which case you want to say Y to "Root file system
113	  on NFS" as well), because all other machines configure the network
114	  in their startup scripts.
115
116config IP_PNP_DHCP
117	bool "IP: DHCP support"
118	depends on IP_PNP
119	---help---
120	  If you want your Linux box to mount its whole root file system (the
121	  one containing the directory /) from some other computer over the
122	  net via NFS and you want the IP address of your computer to be
123	  discovered automatically at boot time using the DHCP protocol (a
124	  special protocol designed for doing this job), say Y here. In case
125	  the boot ROM of your network card was designed for booting Linux and
126	  does DHCP itself, providing all necessary information on the kernel
127	  command line, you can say N here.
128
129	  If unsure, say Y. Note that if you want to use DHCP, a DHCP server
130	  must be operating on your network.  Read

151	help
152	  If you want your Linux box to mount its whole root file system (the
153	  one containing the directory /) from some other computer over the
154	  net via NFS and you want the IP address of your computer to be
155	  discovered automatically at boot time using the RARP protocol (an
156	  older protocol which is being obsoleted by BOOTP and DHCP), say Y
157	  here. Note that if you want to use RARP, a RARP server must be
158	  operating on your network. Read

165	---help---
166	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
167	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
168	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
169	  encapsulation of IP within IP, which sounds kind of pointless, but
170	  can be useful if you want to make your (or some other) machine
171	  appear on a different network than it physically is, or to use
172	  mobile-IP facilities (allowing laptops to seamlessly move between
173	  networks without changing their IP addresses).
174
175	  Saying Y to this option will produce two modules ( = code which can
176	  be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
177	  want). Most people won't need this and can say N.

195	help
196	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
197	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
198	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
199	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
200	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv4 infrastructure.
201	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
202	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
203	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
204	  through the tunnel.
205
206config NET_IPGRE_BROADCAST
207	bool "IP: broadcast GRE over IP"
208	depends on IP_MULTICAST && NET_IPGRE
209	help
210	  One application of GRE/IP is to construct a broadcast WAN (Wide Area
211	  Network), which looks like a normal Ethernet LAN (Local Area
212	  Network), but can be distributed all over the Internet. If you want
213	  to do that, say Y here and to "IP multicast routing" below.

217	depends on IP_MULTICAST
218	help
219	  This is used if you want your machine to act as a router for IP
220	  packets that have several destination addresses. It is needed on the
221	  MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top of the Internet which carries
222	  audio and video broadcasts. In order to do that, you would most
223	  likely run the program mrouted. If you haven't heard about it, you

231	  Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
232	  what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
233	  destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
234	  will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into

245	  Multicast) version 1. This multicast routing protocol is used widely
246	  because Cisco supports it. You need special software to use it
247	  (pimd-v1). Please see <http://netweb.usc.edu/pim/> for more
248	  information about PIM.
249
250	  Say Y if you want to use PIM-SM v1. Note that you can say N here if
251	  you just want to use Dense Mode PIM.
252
253config IP_PIMSM_V2
254	bool "IP: PIM-SM version 2 support"
255	depends on IP_MROUTE
256	help
257	  Kernel side support for Sparse Mode PIM version 2. In order to use
258	  this, you need an experimental routing daemon supporting it (pimd or
259	  gated-5). This routing protocol is not used widely, so say N unless
260	  you want to play with it.
261
262config SYN_COOKIES
263	bool "IP: TCP syncookie support"
264	---help---
265	  Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN
266	  flooding". This denial-of-service attack prevents legitimate remote
267	  users from being able to connect to your computer during an ongoing
268	  attack and requires very little work from the attacker, who can
269	  operate from anywhere on the Internet.
270
271	  SYN cookies provide protection against this type of attack. If you
272	  say Y here, the TCP/IP stack will use a cryptographic challenge
273	  protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to
274	  continue to connect, even when your machine is under attack. There
275	  is no need for the legitimate users to change their TCP/IP software;
276	  SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
277	  about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.
278
279	  If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is
280	  likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as
281	  an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not
282	  be taken as absolute truth.
283
284	  SYN cookies may prevent correct error reporting on clients when the
285	  server is really overloaded. If this happens frequently better turn
286	  them off.
287
288	  If you say Y here, you can disable SYN cookies at run time by
289	  saying Y to "/proc file system support" and
290	  "Sysctl support" below and executing the command
291
292	  echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies

559       TCP NV is a follow up to TCP Vegas. It has been modified to deal with
560       10G networks, measurement noise introduced by LRO, GRO and interrupt
561       coalescence. In addition, it will decrease its cwnd multiplicatively
562       instead of linearly.
563
564       Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
565       queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
566       when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
567       can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.

634	- Low latency (short flows, queries),
635	- High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with
636	  commodity, shallow-buffered switches.
637
638	All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support
639	ECN marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch
640	buffer thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for
641	DCTCP on switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets
642	(~100KB) at 10Gbps, but might need further careful tweaking.
