You need multicasting if you 10 intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top 11 of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts.

This has security advantages because it prevents the 40 so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use 41 asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path 42 than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing 43 host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn 44 rp_filter on use: 45 46 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter 47 or 48 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 49 50 Note that some distributions enable it in startup scripts. 51 For details about rp_filter strict and loose mode read 52 <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>. 53 54 If unsure, say N here. 55 56config IP_FIB_TRIE_STATS 57 bool "FIB TRIE statistics" 58 depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER 59 ---help--- 60 Keep track of statistics on structure of FIB TRIE table. 61 Useful for testing and measuring TRIE performance. 62 63config IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES 64 bool "IP: policy routing" 65 depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER 66 select FIB_RULES 67 ---help--- 68 Normally, a router decides what to do with a received packet based 69 solely on the packet's final destination address.
