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

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

55 ---help---
56 These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
57 Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
cf80efc2 58 your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
1da177e4
LT
59 system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
60 other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
61 allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).
62
63 For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
64 Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
65 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
66
67 If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
68 "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
69 behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
70 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
71 <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
72
73 Short answer: say Y.

ef91fd52 100 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
1da177e4
LT
101 ---help---
102 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
103 that pass through your Linux box.
104
105 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
106 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
107 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
108 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
109 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
110 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
111 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
112 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
113 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
114 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
115 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
116 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
117 you say Y here.
118
119 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
120 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
121 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
122 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
123 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
124 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
125 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
126 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
127 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
128 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
129 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
130 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
131 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
132 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
133 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
134
135 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
136 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
137 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
138 typically a caching proxy server.
139
140 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
141 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
142 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
143 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
144 configuration).
145
146 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
147 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
148 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
149 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
150 these packages.
