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

44 bool "TCP/IP networking"
45 ---help---
46 These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
47 Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
48 your kernel by about 144 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
49 system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
50 other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
51 allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).
52
53 For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
54 Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
55 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
56
57 If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
58 "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
59 behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
60 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
61 <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
62
63 Short answer: say Y.

ef91fd52 80 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
1da177e4
LT
81 ---help---
82 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
83 that pass through your Linux box.
84
85 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
86 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
87 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
88 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
89 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
90 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
91 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
92 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
93 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
94 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
95 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
96 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
97 you say Y here.
98
99 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
100 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
101 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
102 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
103 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
104 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
105 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
106 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
107 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
108 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
109 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
110 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
111 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
112 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
113 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
114
115 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
116 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
117 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
118 typically a caching proxy server.
119
120 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
121 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
122 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
123 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
124 configuration).
125
126 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
127 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
128 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
129 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
130 these packages.
131
132 Make sure to say N to "Fast switching" below if you intend to say Y
133 here, as Fast switching currently bypasses netfilter.
134
135 Chances are that you should say Y here if you compile a kernel which
136 will run as a router and N for regular hosts. If unsure, say N.

156 ebtables.
