      6	bool "IP: multicasting"
      7	help
      8	  This is code for addressing several networked computers at once,
      9	  enlarging your kernel by about 2 KB. You need multicasting if you
     10	  intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top
     11	  of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More
     12	  information about the MBONE is on the WWW at

     15config IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
     16	bool "IP: advanced router"
     17	help
     18	  If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
     19	  computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
     20	  will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
     21	  control about the routing process.
     22
     23	  The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
     24	  answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
     25	  questions about advanced routing.
     26
     27	  Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
     28	  forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
     29	  file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
     30	  line
     31
     32	  echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
     33
     34	  at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.
     35
     36	  If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which
     37	  automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
     38	  for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
     39	  arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
     40	  so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
     41	  asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
     42	  than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
     43	  host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
     44	  rp_filter on use:
     45
     46	  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter
     47	   or
     48	  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
     49
     50	  Note that some distributions enable it in startup scripts.
     51	  For details about rp_filter strict and loose mode read
     52	  <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.rst>.

     66	select FIB_RULES
     67	help
     68	  Normally, a router decides what to do with a received packet based
     69	  solely on the packet's final destination address. If you say Y here,
     70	  the Linux router will also be able to take the packet's source
     71	  address into account. Furthermore, the TOS (Type-Of-Service) field
     72	  of the packet can be used for routing decisions as well.
     73
     74	  If you need more information, see the Linux Advanced
     75	  Routing and Traffic Control documentation at

     83	help
     84	  Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
     85	  a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
     86	  however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
     87	  pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
     88	  for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
     89	  equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
     90	  if a matching packet arrives.
     91
     92config IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE

     96	  If you say Y here, which is recommended, then the kernel will print
     97	  verbose messages regarding the routing, for example warnings about
     98	  received packets which look strange and could be evidence of an
     99	  attack or a misconfigured system somewhere. The information is

    201	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv4 infrastructure.
    202	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
    203	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
