It provides reliable stream and sequenced 9 packet communications over which run a variety of services similar 10 to those which run over TCP/IP. 11 12 To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please 13 look at Patrick Caulfield's web site: 14 <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>. 15 16 More detailed documentation is available in 17 <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt>. 18 19 Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support" 20 below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid 21 in configuration at run time. 22 23 The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be 24 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). 25 The module is called decnet. 26 27config DECNET_ROUTER 28 bool "DECnet: router support (EXPERIMENTAL)" 29 depends on DECNET && EXPERIMENTAL 30 select FIB_RULES 31 ---help--- 32 Add support for turning your DECnet Endnode into a level 1 or 2 33 router. This is an experimental, but functional option. If you 34 do say Y here, then make sure that you also say Y to "Kernel/User 35 network link driver", "Routing messages" and "Network packet 36 filtering". The first two are required to allow configuration via 37 rtnetlink (you will need Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package 38 from <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>). The "Network packet 39 filtering" option will be required for the forthcoming routing daemon 40 to work. 41 42 See <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt> for more information. 43 44
