 41	  to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To

 44	  which message to actually pass to the task.

114	  system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
115	  other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
116	  allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

159menuconfig NETFILTER
160	bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
161	help
162	  Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
163	  that pass through your Linux box.
164
165	  The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
166	  a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
167	  firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
168	  filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
169	  based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
170	  a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
171	  bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
172	  closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
173	  protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
174	  firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
175	  clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
176	  they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
177	  you say Y here.
178
179	  You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
180	  the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
181	  globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
182	  of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
183	  the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
184	  forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
185	  modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
186	  firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
187	  replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
188	  correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
189	  are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
190	  reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
191	  run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
192	  using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
193	  called NAT (Network Address Translation).
194
195	  Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
196	  the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
197	  box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
198	  typically a caching proxy server.
199
200	  Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
201	  a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
202	  the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
203	  protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
204	  configuration).
205
206	  Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
207	  masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
208	  proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
209	  <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
210	  these packages.

 58	---help---
 59	  These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
 60	  Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
 61	  your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
 62	  system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
 63	  other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
 64	  allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).
 65
 66	  For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
 67	  Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
 68	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
 69
 70	  If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
 71	  "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
 72	  behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
 73	  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
 74	  <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
 75
 76	  Short answer: say Y.

105menuconfig NETFILTER
106	bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
107	---help---
108	  Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
109	  that pass through your Linux box.
110
111	  The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
112	  a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
113	  firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
114	  filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
115	  based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
116	  a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
117	  bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
118	  closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
119	  protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
120	  firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
121	  clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
122	  they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
123	  you say Y here.
124
125	  You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
126	  the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
127	  globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
128	  of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
129	  the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
130	  forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
131	  modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
132	  firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
133	  replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
134	  correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
135	  are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
136	  reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
137	  run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
138	  using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
139	  called NAT (Network Address Translation).
140
141	  Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
142	  the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
143	  box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
144	  typically a caching proxy server.
145
146	  Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
147	  a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
148	  the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
149	  protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
150	  configuration).
151
152	  Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
153	  masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
154	  proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
155	  <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
156	  these packages.
