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