5config IP_MULTICAST
6	bool "IP: multicasting"
7	help
8	  This is code for addressing several networked computers at once,
9	  enlarging your kernel by about 2 KB. You need multicasting if you
10	  intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top
11	  of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More
12	  information about the MBONE is on the WWW at
13	  <http://www.savetz.com/mbone/>. For most people, it's safe to say N.
14
15config IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
16	bool "IP: advanced router"
17	---help---
18	  If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
19	  computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
20	  will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
21	  control about the routing process.
22
23	  The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
24	  answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
25	  questions about advanced routing.
26
27	  Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
28	  forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
29	  file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
30	  line
31
32	  echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
33
34	  at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.
35
36	  If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which
37	  automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
38	  for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
39	  arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
40	  so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
41	  asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
42	  than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
43	  host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
44	  rp_filter on use:
45
46	  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter
47	   or
48	  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
49
50	  Note that some distributions enable it in startup scripts.
51	  For details about rp_filter strict and loose mode read
52	  <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
53
54	  If unsure, say N here.

63config IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES
64	bool "IP: policy routing"
65	depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
66	select FIB_RULES
67	---help---
68	  Normally, a router decides what to do with a received packet based
69	  solely on the packet's final destination address. If you say Y here,
70	  the Linux router will also be able to take the packet's source
71	  address into account. Furthermore, the TOS (Type-Of-Service) field
72	  of the packet can be used for routing decisions as well.
73
74	  If you need more information, see the Linux Advanced
75	  Routing and Traffic Control documentation at

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

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

122	  one containing the directory /) from some other computer over the
123	  net via NFS and you want the IP address of your computer to be
124	  discovered automatically at boot time using the DHCP protocol (a
125	  special protocol designed for doing this job), say Y here. In case
126	  the boot ROM of your network card was designed for booting Linux and
127	  does DHCP itself, providing all necessary information on the kernel
128	  command line, you can say N here.
129

155	  net via NFS and you want the IP address of your computer to be
156	  discovered automatically at boot time using the RARP protocol (an

167	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
168	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
169	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
170	  encapsulation of IP within IP, which sounds kind of pointless, but
171	  can be useful if you want to make your (or some other) machine
172	  appear on a different network than it physically is, or to use
173	  mobile-IP facilities (allowing laptops to seamlessly move between

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

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

549       TCP NV is a follow up to TCP Vegas. It has been modified to deal with
550       10G networks, measurement noise introduced by LRO, GRO and interrupt
551       coalescence. In addition, it will decrease its cwnd multiplicatively
552       instead of linearly.
553
554       Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
555       queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
556       when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
557       can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.

625	- High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with

627
