   5         bool "IP: multicasting"
   6         help
   7           This is code for addressing several networked computers at once,
   8           enlarging your kernel by about 2 KB. You need multicasting if you
   9           intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top
  10           of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More
  11           information about the MBONE is on the WWW at
  12           <http://www.savetz.com/mbone/>. Information about the multicast
  13           capabilities of the various network cards is contained in
  14           <file:Documentation/networking/multicast.txt>. For most people, it's
  15           safe to say N.

  17 config IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
  18         bool "IP: advanced router"
  19         ---help---
  20           If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
  21           computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
  22           will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
  23           control about the routing process.
  24
  25           The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
  26           answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
  27           questions about advanced routing.
  28
  29           Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
  30           forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
  31           file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
  32           line
  33
  34           echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  35
  36           at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.
  37
  38           If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which
  39           automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
  40           for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
  41           arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
  42           so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
  43           asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
  44           than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
  45           host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
  46           rp_filter on use:
  47
  48           echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter
  49            or
  50           echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
  51
  52           Note that some distributions enable it in startup scripts.
  53           For details about rp_filter strict and loose mode read
  54           <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.

  68         select FIB_RULES
  69         ---help---
  70           Normally, a router decides what to do with a received packet based
  71           solely on the packet's final destination address. If you say Y here,
  72           the Linux router will also be able to take the packet's source
  73           address into account. Furthermore, the TOS (Type-Of-Service) field
  74           of the packet can be used for routing decisions as well.
  75
  76           If you are interested in this, please see the preliminary
  77           documentation at <http://www.compendium.com.ar/policy-routing.txt>
  78           and <ftp://post.tepkom.ru/pub/vol2/Linux/docs/advanced-routing.tex>.

  86         depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
  87         help
  88           Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
  89           a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
  90           however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
  91           pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
  92           for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
  93           equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
  94           if a matching packet arrives.
  95
  96 config IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE
  97         bool "IP: verbose route monitoring"
  98         depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
  99         help
 100           If you say Y here, which is recommended, then the kernel will print
 101           verbose messages regarding the routing, for example warnings about
 102           received packets which look strange and could be evidence of an
 103           attack or a misconfigured system somewhere. The information is
 104           handled by the klogd daemon which is responsible for kernel messages
 105           ("man klogd").

 116           You need to say Y only for diskless machines requiring network
 117           access to boot (in which case you want to say Y to "Root file system
 118           on NFS" as well), because all other machines configure the network
 119           in their startup scripts.

 170           Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
 171           another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
 172           encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
 173           encapsulation of IP within IP, which sounds kind of pointless, but
 174           can be useful if you want to make your (or some other) machine
 175           appear on a different network than it physically is, or to use
 176           mobile-IP facilities (allowing laptops to seamlessly move between
 177           networks without changing their IP addresses).
 178
 179           Saying Y to this option will produce two modules ( = code which can
 180           be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you

 194           another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
 195           encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
 196           GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
 197           encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv4 infrastructure.
 198           This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
 199           likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
 200           tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
 201           through the tunnel.

 262         bool "IP: ARP daemon support"
 263         ---help---
 264           The kernel maintains an internal cache which maps IP addresses to
 265           hardware addresses on the local network, so that Ethernet
 266           frames are sent to the proper address on the physical networking
 267           layer. Normally, kernel uses the ARP protocol to resolve these
 268           mappings.
 269

 271           resolution instead. This is useful for implementing an alternate
 272           address resolution protocol (e.g. NHRP on mGRE tunnels) and also for

 279         ---help---
 280           Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN
 281           flooding". This denial-of-service attack prevents legitimate remote
 282           users from being able to connect to your computer during an ongoing
 283           attack and requires very little work from the attacker, who can
 284           operate from anywhere on the Internet.
 285
 286           SYN cookies provide protection against this type of attack. If you
 287           say Y here, the TCP/IP stack will use a cryptographic challenge
 288           protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to
 289           continue to connect, even when your machine is under attack. There
 290           is no need for the legitimate users to change their TCP/IP software;
 291           SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
 292           about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.
 293
 294           If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is
 295           likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as
 296           an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not
 297           be taken as absolute truth.
 298
 299           SYN cookies may prevent correct error reporting on clients when the
 300           server is really overloaded. If this happens frequently better turn
 301           them off.
 302
 303           If you say Y here, you can disable SYN cookies at run time by
 304           saying Y to "/proc file system support" and

 306
 307           echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies

 438         called additive increase and binary search increase. When the
 439         congestion window is large, additive increase with a large
 440         increment ensures linear RTT fairness as well as good
 441         scalability. Under small congestion windows, binary search
