11 ---help---
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
15 other computer.
16
17 If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
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
25 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

39 help
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!

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

80 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

82 If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
83 "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
84 behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in

86 <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.

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