11	help
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
15	  other computer.
16
17	  If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
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>.

39	help
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!

74	  These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local

76	  your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
77	  system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
78	  other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
79	  allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

88	  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
89	  <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.rst>.

122menuconfig NETFILTER
123	bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
124	help
125	  Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
126	  that pass through your Linux box.
127
128	  The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
129	  a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
130	  firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
131	  filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
132	  based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
133	  a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
134	  bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
135	  closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
136	  protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
137	  firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
138	  clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
139	  they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
140	  you say Y here.
141
142	  You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
143	  the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
144	  globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
145	  of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
146	  the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
147	  forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
148	  modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
149	  firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
150	  replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
151	  correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
152	  are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
153	  reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
154	  run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
155	  using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
156	  called NAT (Network Address Translation).
157
158	  Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
159	  the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
160	  box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
161	  typically a caching proxy server.
162
163	  Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
164	  a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
165	  the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
166	  protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
167	  configuration).
168
169	  Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
170	  masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
171	  proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
172	  <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
173	  these packages.
