9 Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
10 The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
11 when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
Sam Ravnborgd5950b42005-07-11 21:03:49 -070012 other computer.
13
14 If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070015 should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
16 in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
17 contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
18 of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
19
20 For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
21 recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
22 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

37 This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages
38 to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To
39 achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the
40 compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out
41 which message to actually pass to the task.
42
43 Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do
44 compat-independent messages instead!

Pablo Neira Ayusoef91fd52006-11-29 02:35:43 +0100114 bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700115 ---help---
116 Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
117 that pass through your Linux box.
118
119 The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
120 a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
121 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
122 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
123 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
124 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
125 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
126 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
127 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
128 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
129 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
130 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
131 you say Y here.
132
133 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
134 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
135 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
136 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
137 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
138 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
139 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
140 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
141 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
142 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
143 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
144 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
145 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
146 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
147 called NAT (Network Address Translation).
148
149 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
150 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
151 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
152 typically a caching proxy server.
153
154 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
155 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
156 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
157 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
158 configuration).
159
160 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
161 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
162 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
163 <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
164 these packages.
