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 <https://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.rst>. 53 54 If unsure, say N here. 55 56config IP_FIB_TRIE_STATS 57 bool "FIB TRIE statistics" 58 depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER 59 help 60 Keep track of statistics on structure of FIB TRIE table. 61 Useful for testing and measuring TRIE performance. 62 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.

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 76 <https://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.html> 77 78 If unsure, say N. 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.

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.

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 <https://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.

It builds an explicit 674 model of the bottleneck delivery rate and path round-trip propagation 675 delay. It tolerates packet loss and delay unrelated to congestion. It 676 can operate over LAN, WAN, cellular, wifi, or cable modem links. It can 677 coexist with flows that use loss-based congestion control, and can 678 operate with shallow buffers, deep buffers, bufferbloat, policers, or 679 AQM schemes that do not provide a delay signal. It requires the fq 680 ("Fair Queue") pacing packet scheduler. 681 682choice 683 prompt "Default TCP congestion control" 684 default DEFAULT_CUBIC 685 help 686 Select the TCP congestion control that will be used by default 687 for all connections. 688 689 config DEFAULT_BIC 690 bool "Bic" if TCP_CONG_BIC=y 691 692 config DEFAULT_CUBIC 693 bool "Cubic" if TCP_CONG_CUBIC=y 694 695 config DEFAULT_HTCP 696 bool "Htcp" if TCP_CONG_HTCP=y 697 698 config DEFAULT_HYBLA 699 bool "Hybla" if TCP_CONG_HYBLA=y 700 701 config DEFAULT_VEGAS 702 bool "Vegas" if TCP_CONG_VEGAS=y 703 704 config DEFAULT_VENO 705 bool "Veno" if TCP_CONG_VENO=y 706 707 config DEFAULT_WESTWOOD 708 bool "Westwood" if TCP_CONG_WESTWOOD=y 709 710 config DEFAULT_DCTCP 711 bool "DCTCP" if TCP_CONG_DCTCP=y 712 713 config DEFAULT_CDG 714 bool "CDG" if TCP_CONG_CDG=y 715 716 config DEFAULT_BBR 717 bool "BBR" if TCP_CONG_BBR=y 718 719 config DEFAULT_RENO 720 bool "Reno" 721endchoice 722 723endif 724 725config TCP_CONG_CUBIC 726 tristate 727 depends on !TCP_CONG_ADVANCED 728 default y 729 730config DEFAULT_TCP_CONG 731 string 732 default "bic" if DEFAULT_BIC 733 default "cubic" if DEFAULT_CUBIC 734 default "htcp" if DEFAULT_HTCP 735 default "hybla" if DEFAULT_HYBLA 736 default "vegas" if DEFAULT_VEGAS 737 default "westwood" if DEFAULT_WESTWOOD 738 default "veno" if DEFAULT_VENO 739 default "reno" if DEFAULT_RENO 740 default "dctcp" if DEFAULT_DCTCP 741 default "cdg" if DEFAULT_CDG 742 default "bbr" if DEFAULT_BBR 743 default "cubic" 744 745config TCP_MD5SIG 746 bool "TCP: MD5 Signature Option support (RFC2385)" 747 select CRYPTO 748 select CRYPTO_MD5 749 help 750 RFC2385 specifies a method of giving MD5 protection to TCP sessions. 751 Its main (only?) use is to protect BGP sessions between core routers 752 on the Internet. 753 754 If unsure, say N. 755
