| 8 | Virtual Socket Protocol is a socket protocol similar to TCP/IP | |
| 8c88126b | 9 | allowing communication between Virtual Machines and hypervisor |
| d021c344 AK |
10 | or host. |

| 12 | You should also select one or more hypervisor-specific transports | |
| 13 | below. | |

| 15 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | |
| 16 | will be called vsock. If unsure, say N. | |

| 22 | This module implements a VMCI transport for Virtual Sockets. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | Enable this transport if your Virtual Machine runs on a VMware | |
| 25 | hypervisor. | |

| 27 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | |
| 28 | will be called vmw_vsock_vmci_transport. If unsure, say N. | |

| 35 | This module implements a virtio transport for Virtual Sockets. | |

| 37 | Enable this transport if your Virtual Machine host supports Virtual | |
| 38 | Sockets over virtio. | |

| 46 | This option is selected by any driver which needs to access | |
| 47 | the virtio_vsock. The module will be called | |
| 48 | vmw_vsock_virtio_transport_common. |
