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	  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6>.
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.

24config IPV6_PRIVACY
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.

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

171config IPV6_SIT_6RD
172	bool "IPv6: IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD)"
173	depends on IPV6_SIT
174	default n
175	---help---
176	  IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
177	  mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
178	  deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
179	  customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
180	  IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
181	  infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
182	  prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
183
184	  With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
185	  providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
186	  stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
187
188	  If unsure, say N.

203	tristate "IPv6: GRE tunnel"
204	select IPV6_TUNNEL
205	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
206	---help---
207	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
208	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
209	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
210	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
211	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
212	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
213	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
214	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
215	  through the tunnel.
216
217	  Saying M here will produce a module called ip6_gre. If unsure, say N.
218
219config IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES

224
225config IPV6_SUBTREES
226	bool "IPv6: source address based routing"
227	depends on IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
228	---help---
229	  Enable routing by source address or prefix.
230
231	  The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
232	  normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
233	  may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior.  This can be
234	  avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
235	  source prefix specific routes.
236
237	  If unsure, say N.
238
239config IPV6_MROUTE
240	bool "IPv6: multicast routing"
241	depends on IPV6
242	---help---
243	  Experimental support for IPv6 multicast forwarding.
244	  If unsure, say N.
245
246config IPV6_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES
247	bool "IPv6: multicast policy routing"
248	depends on IPV6_MROUTE
249	select FIB_RULES
250	help
251	  Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
252	  what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
253	  destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
254	  will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
255	  account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
256	  simultaneously, each one handling a single table.
257
258	  If unsure, say N.
