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

  30. help
  31. This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages
  32. to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To
  33. achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the
  34. compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out
  35. which message to actually pass to the task.
  36. Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do
  37. compat-independent messages instead!

  48. These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
  49. Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
  50. your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
  51. system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
  52. other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
  53. allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

  81. menuconfig NETFILTER
  82. bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
  83. ---help---
  84. Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
  85. that pass through your Linux box.
  86. The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
  87. a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
  88. firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
  89. filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
  90. based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
  91. a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
  92. bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
  93. closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
  94. protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
  95. firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
  96. clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
  97. they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
  98. you say Y here.
  99. You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
  100. the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
  101. globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
  102. of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
  103. the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
  104. forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
  105. modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
  106. firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
  107. replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
  108. correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
  109. are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
  110. reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
  111. run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
  112. using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
  113. called NAT (Network Address Translation).
  114. Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
  115. the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
  116. box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
  117. typically a caching proxy server.
  118. Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
  119. a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
  120. the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
  121. protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
  122. configuration).
  123. Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
  124. masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
  125. proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
  126. <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
  127. these packages.
