11 Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
12 The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
13 when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
Sam Ravnborgd5950b42005-07-11 21:03:49 -070014 other computer.

16 If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070017 should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
18 in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
19 contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
20 of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.

22 For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
23 recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from

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

Pablo Neira Ayusoef91fd52006-11-29 02:35:43 +0100124 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700125 ---help---
126 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
127 that pass through your Linux box.
128
129 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
130 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
131 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
132 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
133 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
134 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
135 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
136 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
137 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
138 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
139 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
140 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
141 you say Y here.
142
143 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
144 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
145 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
146 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
147 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
148 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
149 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
150 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
151 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
152 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
153 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
154 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
155 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
156 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
157 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
158
159 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
160 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
161 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
162 typically a caching proxy server.
163
164 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
165 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
166 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
167 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
168 configuration).
169
170 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
171 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
172 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
173 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
174 these packages.

352 This feature provides an alerting service to userspace in the
353 event that packets are discarded in the network stack. Alerts
354 are broadcast via netlink socket to any listening user space

356 just checking the various proc files and other utilities for
357 drop statistics, say N here.
