config NF_CONNTRACK_ENABLED
	tristate "Netfilter connection tracking support"
	help
	  Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
	  through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
	  into connections.

	  This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
	  Address Translation (except for Fast NAT).  It can also be used to
	  enhance packet filtering (see `Connection state match support'
	  below).

	  files to each other, and also chat to each other without the need
	  of a server.  DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
	  and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots.  If you are
	  using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
	  chats.  Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or

config NF_CONNTRACK_NETBIOS_NS
	tristate "NetBIOS name service protocol support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on EXPERIMENTAL && NF_CONNTRACK
	help
	  NetBIOS name service requests are sent as broadcast messages from an
	  unprivileged port and responded to with unicast messages to the
	  same port. This make them hard to firewall properly because connection
	  tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
	  originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
	  responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
	  netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
	  of "ip address show" should look similar to this:

	  $ ip -4 address show eth0
	  4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

	  This module adds support for PPTP (Point to Point Tunnelling
	  Protocol, RFC2637) connection tracking and NAT.

	  If you are running PPTP sessions over a stateful firewall or NAT
	  box, you may want to enable this feature.

	  Please note that not all PPTP modes of operation are supported yet.
	  Specifically these limitations exist:
	    - Blindy assumes that control connections are always established
	      in PNS->PAC direction. This is a violation of RFC2637.
	    - Only supports a single call within each session

config NF_CONNTRACK_SIP

config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TCPMSS
	tristate '"TCPMSS" target support'

	  This option adds a `TCPMSS' target, which allows you to alter the
	  MSS value of TCP SYN packets, to control the maximum size for that
	  connection (usually limiting it to your outgoing interface's MTU
	  minus 40).

	  This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which
	  block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets.  The symptoms of this
	  problem are that everything works fine from your Linux
	  firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large
	  packets:
	        1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received.
	        2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang.
	        3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking.

	  Workaround: activate this option and add a rule to your firewall
	  configuration like:

	  iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \
