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

13
14 If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070015 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>.

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!

Pablo Neira Ayusoef91fd52006-11-29 02:35:43 +0100106 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700107 ---help---
108 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
109 that pass through your Linux box.
110
111 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
112 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
113 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
114 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
115 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
116 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
117 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
118 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
119 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
120 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
121 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
122 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
123 you say Y here.
124
125 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
126 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
127 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
128 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
129 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
130 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
131 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
132 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
133 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
134 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
135 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
136 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
137 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
138 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
139 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
140
141 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
142 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
143 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
144 typically a caching proxy server.
145
146 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
147 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
148 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
149 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
150 configuration).
151
152 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
153 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
154 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
155 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
156 these packages.
