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

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

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

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