12 Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
13 The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
14 when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
d5950b43 15 other computer.
e446a276 16
d5950b43 17 If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
1da177e4
LT
18 should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
19 in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
20 contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
21 of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
22
23 For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
24 recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from

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

79 These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
80 Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
cf80efc2 81 your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
1da177e4
LT
82 system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
83 other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
84 allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).
85
86 For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
87 Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
88 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
89
90 If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
91 "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
92 behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
93 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file

ef91fd52 128 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
a7f7f624 129 help
1da177e4
LT
130 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
131 that pass through your Linux box.
132
133 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
134 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
135 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
136 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
137 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
138 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
139 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
140 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
141 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
142 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
143 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
144 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
145 you say Y here.
146
147 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
148 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
149 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
150 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
151 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
152 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
153 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
154 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
155 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
156 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
157 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
158 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
159 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
160 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
161 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
162
163 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
164 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
165 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
166 typically a caching proxy server.
167
168 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
169 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
170 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
171 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
172 configuration).
173
174 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
175 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
176 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
177 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
178 these packages.
