config IP_MULTICAST
bool "IP: multicasting"
help
This is code for addressing several networked computers at once,
enlarging your kernel by about 2 KB. You need multicasting if you
intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top
of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More
information about the MBONE is on the WWW at
<http://www.savetz.com/mbone/>. For most people, it's safe to say N.
config IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
bool "IP: advanced router"
---help---
If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
control about the routing process.
The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
questions about advanced routing.
Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
line
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.
If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which
automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
rp_filter on use:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter
or
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
Note that some distributions enable it in startup scripts.
For details about rp_filter strict and loose mode read
<file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
If unsure, say N here.
config IP_FIB_TRIE_STATS

---help---
Keep track of statistics on structure of FIB TRIE table.
Useful for testing and measuring TRIE performance.
config IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES
bool "IP: policy routing"
depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
select FIB_RULES
---help---
Normally, a router decides what to do with a received packet based
solely on the packet's final destination address. If you say Y here,
the Linux router will also be able to take the packet's source
address into account. Furthermore, the TOS (Type-Of-Service) field
of the packet can be used for routing decisions as well.
If you need more information, see the Linux Advanced
Routing and Traffic Control documentation at
<http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.html>
If unsure, say N.
config IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH
bool "IP: equal cost multipath"
depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
help
Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
if a matching packet arrives.
config IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE
bool "IP: verbose route monitoring"
depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
help
If you say Y here, which is recommended, then the kernel will print
verbose messages regarding the routing, for example warnings about
received packets which look strange and could be evidence of an
attack or a misconfigured system somewhere. The information is
handled by the klogd daemon which is responsible for kernel messages
("man klogd").
config IP_ROUTE_CLASSID
bool
config IP_PNP
bool "IP: kernel level autoconfiguration"
help
This enables automatic configuration of IP addresses of devices and
of the routing table during kernel boot, based on either information
supplied on the kernel command line or by BOOTP or RARP protocols.
You need to say Y only for diskless machines requiring network
access to boot (in which case you want to say Y to "Root file system
on NFS" as well), because all other machines configure the network
in their startup scripts.
config IP_PNP_DHCP
bool "IP: DHCP support"
depends on IP_PNP
---help---
If you want your Linux box to mount its whole root file system (the
one containing the directory /) from some other computer over the
net via NFS and you want the IP address of your computer to be
discovered automatically at boot time using the DHCP protocol (a
special protocol designed for doing this job), say Y here. In case
the boot ROM of your network card was designed for booting Linux and
does DHCP itself, providing all necessary information on the kernel
command line, you can say N here.
If unsure, say Y. Note that if you want to use DHCP, a DHCP server
must be operating on your network. Read
<file:Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt> for details.
config IP_PNP_BOOTP

config IP_PNP_RARP
bool "IP: RARP support"
depends on IP_PNP
help
If you want your Linux box to mount its whole root file system (the
one containing the directory /) from some other computer over the
net via NFS and you want the IP address of your computer to be
discovered automatically at boot time using the RARP protocol (an
older protocol which is being obsoleted by BOOTP and DHCP), say Y
here. Note that if you want to use RARP, a RARP server must be
operating on your network. Read
<file:Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt> for details.
config NET_IPIP
tristate "IP: tunneling"
select INET_TUNNEL
select NET_IP_TUNNEL
---help---
Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
encapsulation of IP within IP, which sounds kind of pointless, but
can be useful if you want to make your (or some other) machine
appear on a different network than it physically is, or to use
mobile-IP facilities (allowing laptops to seamlessly move between
networks without changing their IP addresses).
Saying Y to this option will produce two modules ( = code which can
be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
want). Most people won't need this and can say N.
config NET_IPGRE_DEMUX

help
Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv4 infrastructure.
This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
through the tunnel.
config NET_IPGRE_BROADCAST
bool "IP: broadcast GRE over IP"
depends on IP_MULTICAST && NET_IPGRE
help
One application of GRE/IP is to construct a broadcast WAN (Wide Area
Network), which looks like a normal Ethernet LAN (Local Area
Network), but can be distributed all over the Internet. If you want
to do that, say Y here and to "IP multicast routing" below.

help
This is used if you want your machine to act as a router for IP
packets that have several destination addresses. It is needed on the
MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top of the Internet which carries
audio and video broadcasts. In order to do that, you would most
likely run the program mrouted. If you haven't heard about it, you
don't need it.
config IP_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES
bool "IP: multicast policy routing"
depends on IP_MROUTE && IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
select FIB_RULES
help
Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
simultaneously, each one handling a single table.
If unsure, say N.
config IP_PIMSM_V1

depends on IP_MROUTE
help
Kernel side support for Sparse Mode PIM (Protocol Independent
Multicast) version 1. This multicast routing protocol is used widely
because Cisco supports it. You need special software to use it
(pimd-v1). Please see <http://netweb.usc.edu/pim/> for more
information about PIM.
Say Y if you want to use PIM-SM v1. Note that you can say N here if
you just want to use Dense Mode PIM.
config IP_PIMSM_V2
bool "IP: PIM-SM version 2 support"
depends on IP_MROUTE
help
Kernel side support for Sparse Mode PIM version 2. In order to use
this, you need an experimental routing daemon supporting it (pimd or
gated-5). This routing protocol is not used widely, so say N unless
you want to play with it.
config SYN_COOKIES
bool "IP: TCP syncookie support"
---help---
Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN
flooding". This denial-of-service attack prevents legitimate remote
users from being able to connect to your computer during an ongoing
attack and requires very little work from the attacker, who can
operate from anywhere on the Internet.
SYN cookies provide protection against this type of attack. If you
say Y here, the TCP/IP stack will use a cryptographic challenge
protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to
continue to connect, even when your machine is under attack. There
is no need for the legitimate users to change their TCP/IP software;
SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.
If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is
likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as
an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not
be taken as absolute truth.
SYN cookies may prevent correct error reporting on clients when the
server is really overloaded. If this happens frequently better turn
them off.
If you say Y here, you can disable SYN cookies at run time by
saying Y to "/proc file system support" and
"Sysctl support" below and executing the command
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
after the /proc file system has been mounted.
If unsure, say N.

instead of linearly.
Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.

- High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate),
- Low latency (short flows, queries),
- High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with
commodity, shallow-buffered switches.
All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support
ECN marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch
buffer thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for
DCTCP on switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets
