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

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
24 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

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
46 compat-independent messages instead!

Pablo Neira Ayusoef91fd52006-11-29 02:35:43 +0100121 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700122 ---help---
123 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
124 that pass through your Linux box.
125
126 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
127 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
128 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
129 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
130 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
131 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
132 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
133 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
134 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
135 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
136 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
137 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
138 you say Y here.
139
140 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
141 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
142 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
143 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
144 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
145 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
146 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
147 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
148 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
149 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
150 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
151 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
152 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
153 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
154 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
155
156 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
157 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
158 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
159 typically a caching proxy server.
160
161 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
162 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
163 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
164 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
165 configuration).
166
167 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
168 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
169 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
170 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
171 these packages.

331 This module allows for capturing the changes to TCP connection
Dave Jones9dadaa192006-06-08 23:42:09 -0700332 state in response to incoming packets. It is used for debugging
Stephen Hemmingera42e9d62006-06-05 17:30:32 -0700333 TCP congestion avoidance modules. If you don't understand
334 what was just said, you don't need it: say N.

348 This feature provides an alerting service to userspace in the
349 event that packets are discarded in the network stack. Alerts
350 are broadcast via netlink socket to any listening user space
351 process. If you don't need network drop alerts, or if you are ok
352 just checking the various proc files and other utilities for
353 drop statistics, say N here.
