11 ---help---
12 Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
13 through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
14 into connections.
15
16 This is IPv6 support on Layer 3 independent connection tracking.
17 Layer 3 independent connection tracking is experimental scheme
18 which generalize ip_conntrack to support other layer 3 protocols.

30 THis option enables the old IPv6-only "ip6_queue" implementation
31 which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_queue" code (see

181 the hoplimit value of the IPv6 header or set it to a given (lower)
182 value.

184 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit value, this option also
185 enables functionality to increment and set the hoplimit value of the
186 IPv6 header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS since
