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.

55config IP_FIB_TRIE_STATS
56	bool "FIB TRIE statistics"
57	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
58	---help---
59	  Keep track of statistics on structure of FIB TRIE table.
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 are interested in this, please see the preliminary
74	  documentation at <http://www.compendium.com.ar/policy-routing.txt>
75	  and <ftp://post.tepkom.ru/pub/vol2/Linux/docs/advanced-routing.tex>.
76	  You will need supporting software from
77	  <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>.
78
79	  If unsure, say N.
80
81config IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH
82	bool "IP: equal cost multipath"
83	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
84	help
85	  Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
86	  a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
87	  however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
88	  pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
89	  for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
90	  equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
91	  if a matching packet arrives.
92
93config IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE
94	bool "IP: verbose route monitoring"
95	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
96	help
97	  If you say Y here, which is recommended, then the kernel will print
98	  verbose messages regarding the routing, for example warnings about
99	  received packets which look strange and could be evidence of an
100	  attack or a misconfigured system somewhere. The information is
101	  handled by the klogd daemon which is responsible for kernel messages
102	  ("man klogd").
103
104config IP_ROUTE_CLASSID
105	bool
106
107config IP_PNP
108	bool "IP: kernel level autoconfiguration"
109	help
110	  This enables automatic configuration of IP addresses of devices and
111	  of the routing table during kernel boot, based on either information
112	  supplied on the kernel command line or by BOOTP or RARP protocols.
113	  You need to say Y only for diskless machines requiring network
114	  access to boot (in which case you want to say Y to "Root file system
115	  on NFS" as well), because all other machines configure the network
116	  in their startup scripts.
117
118config IP_PNP_DHCP
119	bool "IP: DHCP support"
120	depends on IP_PNP
121	---help---
122	  If you want your Linux box to mount its whole root file system (the
123	  one containing the directory /) from some other computer over the
124	  net via NFS and you want the IP address of your computer to be
125	  discovered automatically at boot time using the DHCP protocol (a
126	  special protocol designed for doing this job), say Y here. In case
127	  the boot ROM of your network card was designed for booting Linux and
128	  does DHCP itself, providing all necessary information on the kernel
129	  command line, you can say N here.
130
131	  If unsure, say Y. Note that if you want to use DHCP, a DHCP server
132	  must be operating on your network.  Read
133	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt> for details.

150config IP_PNP_RARP
151	bool "IP: RARP support"

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

163config NET_IPIP
164	tristate "IP: tunneling"

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

197	help
198	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
199	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
200	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
201	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
202	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv4 infrastructure.
203	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
204	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
205	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
206	  through the tunnel.
207
208config NET_IPGRE_BROADCAST
209	bool "IP: broadcast GRE over IP"
210	depends on IP_MULTICAST && NET_IPGRE
211	help
212	  One application of GRE/IP is to construct a broadcast WAN (Wide Area
213	  Network), which looks like a normal Ethernet LAN (Local Area
214	  Network), but can be distributed all over the Internet. If you want
215	  to do that, say Y here and to "IP multicast routing" below.
216

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

232	help
233	  Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
234	  what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
235	  destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
236	  will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
237	  account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
238	  simultaneously, each one handling a single table.

246	  Kernel side support for Sparse Mode PIM (Protocol Independent
247	  Multicast) version 1. This multicast routing protocol is used widely
248	  because Cisco supports it. You need special software to use it
249	  (pimd-v1). Please see <http://netweb.usc.edu/pim/> for more
250	  information about PIM.
251
252	  Say Y if you want to use PIM-SM v1. Note that you can say N here if
253	  you just want to use Dense Mode PIM.
254
255config IP_PIMSM_V2
256	bool "IP: PIM-SM version 2 support"
257	depends on IP_MROUTE
258	help
259	  Kernel side support for Sparse Mode PIM version 2. In order to use
260	  this, you need an experimental routing daemon supporting it (pimd or
261	  gated-5). This routing protocol is not used widely, so say N unless
262	  you want to play with it.
263
264config SYN_COOKIES
265	bool "IP: TCP syncookie support"
266	---help---
267	  Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN
268	  flooding". This denial-of-service attack prevents legitimate remote
269	  users from being able to connect to your computer during an ongoing
270	  attack and requires very little work from the attacker, who can
271	  operate from anywhere on the Internet.
272
273	  SYN cookies provide protection against this type of attack. If you
274	  say Y here, the TCP/IP stack will use a cryptographic challenge
275	  protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to
276	  continue to connect, even when your machine is under attack. There
277	  is no need for the legitimate users to change their TCP/IP software;
278	  SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
279	  about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.
280
281	  If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is
282	  likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as
283	  an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not
284	  be taken as absolute truth.
285
286	  SYN cookies may prevent correct error reporting on clients when the
287	  server is really overloaded. If this happens frequently better turn
288	  them off.
289
290	  If you say Y here, you can disable SYN cookies at run time by
291	  saying Y to "/proc file system support" and
292	  "Sysctl support" below and executing the command
293
294	  echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies

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

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