12 Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
13 The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
14 when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
d5950b43 15 other computer.
e446a276 16
d5950b43 17 If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
1da177e4
LT
18 should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
19 in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
20 contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
21 of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
22
23 For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
24 recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
25 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

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

cf80efc2 104 your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
1da177e4

105 system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
106 other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
107 allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

ef91fd52 151 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
a7f7f624 152 help
1da177e4
LT
153 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
154 that pass through your Linux box.
155
156 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
157 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
158 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
159 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
160 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
161 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
162 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
163 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
164 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
165 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
166 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
167 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
168 you say Y here.
169
170 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
171 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
172 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
173 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
174 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
175 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
176 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
177 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
178 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
179 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
180 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
181 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
182 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
183 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
184 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
185
186 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
187 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
188 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
189 typically a caching proxy server.
190
191 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
192 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
193 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
194 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
195 configuration).
196
197 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
198 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
199 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
200 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
201 these packages.

488 Enable page pool statistics to track page allocation and recycling
489 in page pools. This option incurs additional CPU cost in allocation
490 and recycle paths and additional memory cost to store the statistics.
491 These statistics are only available if this option is enabled and if
492 the driver using the page pool supports exporting this data.

496config FAILOVER
497 tristate "Generic failover module"
498 help
499 The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual
500 drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover
501 instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to
502 handle netdev register/unregister/link change/name change events
503 on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the
504 failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a
505 VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows live
506 migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the
507 paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
