1da177e4 LT |
6 | help |
7 | This is code for addressing several networked computers at once, | |
8 | enlarging your kernel by about 2 KB. You need multicasting if you | |
9 | intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top | |
10 | of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More | |
11 | information about the MBONE is on the WWW at | |
12 | <http://www-itg.lbl.gov/mbone/>. Information about the multicast | |
13 | capabilities of the various network cards is contained in | |
14 | <file:Documentation/networking/multicast.txt>. For most people, it's | |
15 | safe to say N. | |

18 | bool "IP: advanced router" | |
1da177e4 LT |
19 | ---help--- |
20 | If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a | |
21 | computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you | |
22 | will then be presented with several options that allow more precise | |
23 | control about the routing process. | |
24 | ||
25 | The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel: | |
26 | answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the | |
27 | questions about advanced routing. | |
28 | ||
29 | Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP | |
30 | forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc | |
31 | file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the | |
32 | line | |
33 | ||
34 | echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | |
35 | ||
36 | at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted. | |
37 | ||
38 | If you turn on IP forwarding, you will also get the rp_filter, which | |
39 | automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry | |
40 | for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're | |
41 | arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the | |
42 | so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use | |
43 | asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path | |
44 | than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing | |
45 | host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn | |
46 | rp_filter off use: | |
47 | ||
48 | echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter | |
49 | or | |
50 | echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter | |
51 | ||
52 | If unsure, say N here. | |

1da177e4 LT |
313 | ---help--- |
314 | Normally, the kernel maintains an internal cache which maps IP | |
315 | addresses to hardware addresses on the local network, so that | |
316 | Ethernet/Token Ring/ etc. frames are sent to the proper address on | |
317 | the physical networking layer. For small networks having a few | |
318 | hundred directly connected hosts or less, keeping this address | |
319 | resolution (ARP) cache inside the kernel works well. However, | |
320 | maintaining an internal ARP cache does not work well for very large | |
321 | switched networks, and will use a lot of kernel memory if TCP/IP | |
322 | connections are made to many machines on the network. | |
323 | ||
324 | If you say Y here, the kernel's internal ARP cache will never grow | |
325 | to more than 256 entries (the oldest entries are expired in a LIFO | |
326 | manner) and communication will be attempted with the user space ARP | |
327 | daemon arpd. Arpd then answers the address resolution request either | |
328 | from its own cache or by asking the net. | |
329 | ||
330 | This code is experimental and also obsolete. If you want to use it, | |
331 | you need to find a version of the daemon arpd on the net somewhere, | |

1da177e4 LT |
337 | ---help--- |
338 | Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN | |
339 | flooding". This denial-of-service attack prevents legitimate remote | |
340 | users from being able to connect to your computer during an ongoing | |
341 | attack and requires very little work from the attacker, who can | |
342 | operate from anywhere on the Internet. | |
343 | ||
344 | SYN cookies provide protection against this type of attack. If you | |
345 | say Y here, the TCP/IP stack will use a cryptographic challenge | |
346 | protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to | |
347 | continue to connect, even when your machine is under attack. There | |
348 | is no need for the legitimate users to change their TCP/IP software; | |
349 | SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information | |
350 | about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>. | |
351 | ||
352 | If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is | |
353 | likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as | |
354 | an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not | |
355 | be taken as absolute truth. | |
356 | ||
357 | SYN cookies may prevent correct error reporting on clients when the | |
358 | server is really overloaded. If this happens frequently better turn | |
359 | them off. | |
360 | ||
361 | If you say Y here, note that SYN cookies aren't enabled by default; | |

468 | BIC-TCP is a sender-side only change that ensures a linear RTT | |
469 | fairness under large windows while offering both scalability and | |
470 | bounded TCP-friendliness. The protocol combines two schemes | |
471 | called additive increase and binary search increase. When the | |
472 | congestion window is large, additive increase with a large | |
473 | increment ensures linear RTT fairness as well as good | |
474 | scalability. Under small congestion windows, binary search | |
475 | increase provides TCP friendliness. | |

490 | TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno | |
491 | protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion | |
492 | control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set | |
493 | congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion | |
494 | episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a | |
495 | slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into | |
496 | account the bandwidth used at the time congestion is experienced. | |
497 | TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in | |
498 | wired networks and throughput over wireless links. | |
