10 | ---help--- |
11 | Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here. | |
12 | The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even | |
13 | when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any | |
d5950b43 SR |
14 | other computer. |
15 | ||
16 | If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you | |
1da177e4 LT |
17 | should consider updating your networking tools too because changes |
18 | in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are | |
19 | contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number | |
20 | of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>. | |
21 | ||
22 | For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly | |
23 | recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from | |
24 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | |

38 | help |
39 | This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages | |
40 | to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To | |
41 | achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the | |
42 | compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out | |
43 | which message to actually pass to the task. | |
44 | ||
45 | Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do | |
46 | compat-independent messages instead! | |

66 | These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local | |
67 | Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge | |
cf80efc2 | 68 | your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window |
1da177e4 LT |
69 | system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any |
70 | other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which | |
71 | allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!). | |

ef91fd52 | 113 | bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)" |
1da177e4 LT |
114 | ---help--- |
115 | Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets | |
116 | that pass through your Linux box. | |
117 | ||
118 | The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as | |
119 | a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of | |
120 | firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet | |
121 | filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets | |
122 | based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall, | |
123 | a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more | |
124 | bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more | |
125 | closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level | |
126 | protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based | |
127 | firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local | |
128 | clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but | |
129 | they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if | |
130 | you say Y here. | |
131 | ||
132 | You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as | |
133 | the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without | |
134 | globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one | |
135 | of the computers on your local network wants to send something to | |
136 | the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it | |
137 | forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but | |
138 | modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the | |
139 | firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host | |
140 | replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the | |
141 | correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net | |
142 | are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can | |
143 | reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to | |
144 | run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network | |
145 | using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often | |
146 | called NAT (Network Address Translation). | |
147 | ||
148 | Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on | |
149 | the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux | |
150 | box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server, | |
151 | typically a caching proxy server. | |
152 | ||
153 | Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using | |
154 | a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see" | |
155 | the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet | |
156 | protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter | |
157 | configuration). | |
158 | ||
159 | Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous | |
160 | masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent | |
161 | proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see | |
162 | <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of | |
163 | these packages. | |
