| 2635 | PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a |
| 2636 | reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more) |
| 2637 | local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to |
| 2638 | install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a |
| 2639 | CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies |
| 2640 | first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option |
| 2641 | enabled for this to work. |
| 2642 | |
| 2643 | The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel |
| 2644 | ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected |
| 2645 | with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 |
| 2646 | bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on |
| 2647 | bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a |
| 2648 | time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in |
| 2649 | <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to |
| 2650 | 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows |
| 2651 | and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet |
| 2652 | driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) |

| 2853 | This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the |
| 2854 | TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported |
| 2855 | on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and |
| 2856 | answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If |
| 2857 | you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from |
| 2858 | <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which |
| 2859 | allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you |
| 2860 | definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from |
| 2861 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure |
| 2862 | CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel. |

| 2882 | Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial |
| 2883 | networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven |
| 2884 | bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: |
| 2885 | "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over |
| 2886 | the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other |
| 2887 | end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP |
| 2888 | over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N. |

| 2907 | The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to |
| 2908 | limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device. |
| 2909 | The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through |
| 2910 | these virtual devices. See |
| 2911 | <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information. |
