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>.

53	  If unsure, say N here.

63	bool "IP: policy routing"

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

79config IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH
80	bool "IP: equal cost multipath"
81	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
82	help
83	  Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
84	  a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
85	  however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
86	  pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
87	  for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
88	  equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
89	  if a matching packet arrives.
90
91config IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE
92	bool "IP: verbose route monitoring"
93	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
94	help
95	  If you say Y here, which is recommended, then the kernel will print
96	  verbose messages regarding the routing, for example warnings about
97	  received packets which look strange and could be evidence of an
98	  attack or a misconfigured system somewhere. The information is
99	  handled by the klogd daemon which is responsible for kernel messages
100	  ("man klogd").

109	  of the routing table during kernel boot, based on either information
110	  supplied on the kernel command line or by BOOTP or RARP protocols.
111	  You need to say Y only for diskless machines requiring network
112	  access to boot (in which case you want to say Y to "Root file system
113	  on NFS" as well), because all other machines configure the network
114	  in their startup scripts.

166	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within

168	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
169	  encapsulation of IP within IP, which sounds kind of pointless, but
170	  can be useful if you want to make your (or some other) machine

196	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
197	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
198	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
199	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
200	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv4 infrastructure.
201	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
202	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
203	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution

267config SYN_COOKIES
268	bool "IP: TCP syncookie support"
269	---help---
270	  Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN
271	  flooding". This denial-of-service attack prevents legitimate remote
272	  users from being able to connect to your computer during an ongoing
273	  attack and requires very little work from the attacker, who can
274	  operate from anywhere on the Internet.
275
276	  SYN cookies provide protection against this type of attack. If you
277	  say Y here, the TCP/IP stack will use a cryptographic challenge
278	  protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to
279	  continue to connect, even when your machine is under attack. There
280	  is no need for the legitimate users to change their TCP/IP software;
281	  SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
282	  about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.
283
284	  If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is
285	  likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as
286	  an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not
287	  be taken as absolute truth.
288
289	  SYN cookies may prevent correct error reporting on clients when the

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

640	- Low latency (short flows, queries),
641	- High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with
642	  commodity, shallow-buffered switches.
643
644	All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support
645	ECN marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch
646	buffer thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for
647	DCTCP on switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets
648	(~100KB) at 10Gbps, but might need further careful tweaking.
