config IPV6
tristate "The IPv6 protocol"
default m
---help---
This is complemental support for the IP version 6.
You will still be able to do traditional IPv4 networking as well.
For general information about IPv6, see
<http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-main.html>.
For Linux IPv6 development information, see <http://www.linux-ipv6.org>.
For specific information about IPv6 under Linux, read the HOWTO at
<http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/>.
To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ipv6.
config IPV6_PRIVACY
bool "IPv6: Privacy Extensions support"
depends on IPV6
---help---
Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6
support. With this option, additional periodically-alter
pseudo-random global-scope unicast address(es) will assigned to
your interface(s).
We use our standard pseudo random algorithm to generate randomized
interface identifier, instead of one described in RFC 3041.
By default, kernel do not generate temporary addresses.
To use temporary addresses, do
echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr
See <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt> for details.
config IPV6_ROUTER_PREF
bool "IPv6: Router Preference (RFC 4191) support"
depends on IPV6
---help---
Router Preference is an optional extension to the Router
Advertisement message to improve the ability of hosts
to pick more appropriate router, especially when the hosts
is placed in a multi-homed network.
If unsure, say N.
config IPV6_ROUTE_INFO
bool "IPv6: Route Information (RFC 4191) support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on IPV6_ROUTER_PREF && EXPERIMENTAL
---help---
This is experimental support of Route Information.
If unsure, say N.
config INET6_AH
tristate "IPv6: AH transformation"
depends on IPV6
select XFRM
select CRYPTO
select CRYPTO_HMAC
select CRYPTO_MD5
select CRYPTO_SHA1
---help---
Support for IPsec AH.
If unsure, say Y.
config INET6_ESP
tristate "IPv6: ESP transformation"
depends on IPV6
select XFRM
select CRYPTO
select CRYPTO_HMAC
select CRYPTO_MD5
select CRYPTO_SHA1
select CRYPTO_DES
---help---
Support for IPsec ESP.
If unsure, say Y.
config INET6_IPCOMP
tristate "IPv6: IPComp transformation"
depends on IPV6
select XFRM
select INET6_TUNNEL
select CRYPTO
select CRYPTO_DEFLATE
---help---
Support for IP Payload Compression Protocol (IPComp) (RFC3173),
typically needed for IPsec.
If unsure, say Y.
config INET6_TUNNEL
tristate "IPv6: tunnel transformation"
depends on IPV6
select XFRM
---help---
Support for generic IPv6-in-IPv6 tunnel transformation, which is
required by the IPv6-in-IPv6 tunneling module as well as tunnel mode
IPComp.
If unsure, say Y.
config IPV6_TUNNEL
tristate "IPv6: IPv6-in-IPv6 tunnel"
depends on IPV6
---help---
Support for IPv6-in-IPv6 tunnels described in RFC 2473.
If unsure, say N.
