10	  This is complemental support for the IP version 6.
11	  You will still be able to do traditional IPv4 networking as well.
12
13	  For general information about IPv6, see
14	  <http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-main.html>.
15	  For Linux IPv6 development information, see <http://www.linux-ipv6.org>.
16	  For specific information about IPv6 under Linux, read the HOWTO at
17	  <http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/>.
18
19	  To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the
20	  module will be called ipv6.

25	bool "IPv6: Privacy Extensions (RFC 3041) support"
26	---help---
27	  Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6
28	  support.  With this option, additional periodically-altered
29	  pseudo-random global-scope unicast address(es) will be assigned to
30	  your interface(s).
31
32	  We use our standard pseudo-random algorithm to generate the
33          randomized interface identifier, instead of one described in RFC 3041.
34
35	  By default the kernel does not generate temporary addresses.
36	  To use temporary addresses, do
37
38	        echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr

45	  Router Preference is an optional extension to the Router
46	  Advertisement message which improves the ability of hosts
47	  to pick an appropriate router, especially when the hosts
48	  are placed in a multi-homed network.

161	select INET_TUNNEL
162	select IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE
163	default y
164	---help---
165	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
166	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
167	  encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6
168	  into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6
169	  networks over an IPv4-only path.
170
171	  Saying M here will produce a module called sit. If unsure, say Y.

173config IPV6_SIT_6RD
174	bool "IPv6: IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
175	depends on IPV6_SIT && EXPERIMENTAL
176	default n
177	---help---
178	  IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
179	  mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
180	  deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
181	  customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
182	  IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
183	  infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
184	  prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
185
186	  With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
187	  providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
188	  stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
189
190	  If unsure, say N.

200	  RFC 2473.

202	  If unsure, say N.
203
204config IPV6_GRE
205	tristate "IPv6: GRE tunnel"
206	select IPV6_TUNNEL
207	---help---
208	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
209	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
210	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
211	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
212	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
213	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
214	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
215	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
216	  through the tunnel.
217
218	  Saying M here will produce a module called ip6_gre. If unsure, say N.

220config IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES

226
227config IPV6_SUBTREES
228	bool "IPv6: source address based routing"
229	depends on IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
230	---help---
231	  Enable routing by source address or prefix.
232
233	  The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
234	  normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
235	  may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior.  This can be
236	  avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
237	  source prefix specific routes.
238
239	  If unsure, say N.
240
241config IPV6_MROUTE
242	bool "IPv6: multicast routing (EXPERIMENTAL)"

244	---help---
245	  Experimental support for IPv6 multicast forwarding.
246	  If unsure, say N.

249	bool "IPv6: multicast policy routing"
250	depends on IPV6_MROUTE
251	select FIB_RULES
252	help
253	  Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
254	  what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
255	  destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
256	  will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
257	  account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
258	  simultaneously, each one handling a single table.
259
260	  If unsure, say N.
