 config NET
 	bool "Networking support"
 	---help---
 	  Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
 	  The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
 	  when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
 	  other computer.

 	  If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
 	  should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
 	  in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
 	  contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
 	  of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.

 	  For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
 	  recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
 	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

 	  system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
 	  other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
 	  allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

 	  If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and

 menuconfig NETFILTER
 	bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
 	---help---
 	  Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
 	  that pass through your Linux box.

 	  The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
 	  a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
 	  firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
 	  filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
 	  based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
 	  a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
 	  bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
 	  closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
 	  protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
 	  firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
 	  clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
 	  they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
 	  you say Y here.

 	  You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
 	  the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
 	  globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
 	  of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
 	  the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
 	  forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
 	  modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
 	  firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
 	  replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
 	  correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
 	  are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
 	  reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
 	  run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
 	  using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
 	  called NAT (Network Address Translation).

 	  Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
 	  the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
 	  box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
 	  typically a caching proxy server.

 	  Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
 	  a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
 	  the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
 	  protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
 	  configuration).

 	  Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
 	  masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
 	  proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
 	  <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
 	  these packages.

 	  Make sure to say N to "Fast switching" below if you intend to say Y
 	  here, as Fast switching currently bypasses netfilter.

 	  Chances are that you should say Y here if you compile a kernel which
 	  will run as a router and N for regular hosts. If unsure, say N.
