9 | The Transparent Inter Process Communication (TIPC) protocol is |
10 | specially designed for intra cluster communication. This protocol | |
11 | originates from Ericsson where it has been used in carrier grade | |
12 | cluster applications for many years. | |

16 | This protocol support is also available as a module ( = code which | |
17 | can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you | |
18 | want). The module will be called tipc. If you want to compile it | |
39f5fb30 | 19 | as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. |

21 | If in doubt, say N. | |

6e7e309c AS |
76 | Enabling debugging support causes TIPC to display data about its |
77 | internal state when certain abnormal conditions occur. It also | |
78 | makes it easy for developers to capture additional information of | |
79 | interest using the dbg() or msg_dbg() macros. | |
