141	depends on INET6_XFRM_MODE_TUNNEL
142	---help---
143	Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
144	another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
145	encapsulating protocol. This can be used with xfrm mode tunnel to give
146	the notion of a secure tunnel for IPSEC and then use routing protocol
147	on top.

155	---help---
156	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
157	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
158	  encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6
159	  into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6
160	  networks over an IPv4-only path.
161
162	  Saying M here will produce a module called sit. If unsure, say Y.

165	bool "IPv6: IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD)"
166	depends on IPV6_SIT
167	default n
168	---help---
169	  IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
170	  mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
171	  deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
172	  customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
173	  IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
174	  infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
175	  prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
176
177	  With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
178	  providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
179	  stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
180

196	tristate "IPv6: GRE tunnel"
197	select IPV6_TUNNEL
198	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
199	---help---
200	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
201	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
202	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
203	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
204	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
205	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
206	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
207	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
208	  through the tunnel.
209
210	  Saying M here will produce a module called ip6_gre. If unsure, say N.
211
212config IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES

217
218config IPV6_SUBTREES
219	bool "IPv6: source address based routing"
220	depends on IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
221	---help---
222	  Enable routing by source address or prefix.
223
224	  The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
225	  normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
226	  may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior.  This can be
227	  avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
228	  source prefix specific routes.

230	  If unsure, say N.
231
232config IPV6_MROUTE
233	bool "IPv6: multicast routing"

240	bool "IPv6: multicast policy routing"
241	depends on IPV6_MROUTE
242	select FIB_RULES
243	help
244	  Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
245	  what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
246	  destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
247	  will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
248	  account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
249	  simultaneously, each one handling a single table.
