menuconfig NET
bool "Networking support"
select NLATTR
select GENERIC_NET_UTILS
select BPF
---help---
Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
other computer.
If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
if NET
config WANT_COMPAT_NETLINK_MESSAGES
bool
help
This option can be selected by other options that need compat
netlink messages.
config COMPAT_NETLINK_MESSAGES
def_bool y
depends on COMPAT
depends on WEXT_CORE || WANT_COMPAT_NETLINK_MESSAGES
help
This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages
to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To
achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the
compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out
which message to actually pass to the task.
Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do
compat-independent messages instead!

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

config NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING
bool "Timestamping in PHY devices"
select NET_PTP_CLASSIFY
help
This allows timestamping of network packets by PHYs (or
other MII bus snooping devices) with hardware timestamping
capabilities. This option adds some overhead in the transmit
and receive paths.
If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
menuconfig NETFILTER
bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
---help---
Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
that pass through your Linux box.
The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
you say Y here.
You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
called NAT (Network Address Translation).
Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
typically a caching proxy server.
Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
configuration).
Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
<file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
these packages.
if NETFILTER
config NETFILTER_ADVANCED
bool "Advanced netfilter configuration"
depends on NETFILTER
default y
help
If you say Y here you can select between all the netfilter modules.
If you say N the more unusual ones will not be shown and the
basic ones needed by most people will default to 'M'.
If unsure, say Y.

---help---
Enabling this option will let arptables resp. iptables see bridged
ARP resp. IP traffic. If you want a bridging firewall, you probably
want this option enabled.
Enabling or disabling this option doesn't enable or disable
ebtables.
If unsure, say N.

Berkeley Packet Filter filtering capabilities are normally handled
by an interpreter. This option allows kernel to generate a native
code when filter is loaded in memory. This should speedup
packet sniffing (libpcap/tcpdump).
Note, admin should enable this feature changing:

BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP provides a map type to use with network sockets.
It can be used to enforce socket policy, implement socket redirects,
etc.
config NET_FLOW_LIMIT

---help---
The network stack has to drop packets when a receive processing CPU's
backlog reaches netdev_max_backlog. If a few out of many active flows
generate the vast majority of load, drop their traffic earlier to
maintain capacity for the other flows. This feature provides servers
with many clients some protection against DoS by a single (spoofed)
flow that greatly exceeds average workload.

instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to
handle netdev register/unregister/link change/name change events
on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the
failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a
VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows live

paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
