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 14 other computer.
e446a276 15
d5950b43 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>.

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!

69 These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
70 Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
cf80efc2 71 your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
1da177e4

72 system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
73 other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
74 allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).
75
76 For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
77 Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
78 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
79
80 If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
81 "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
82 behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
83 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
84 <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
85

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