  12. The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
  13. when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
  14. other computer.
  15. If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
  16. should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
  17. in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
  18. contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
  19. of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
  20. For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
  21. recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from

  38. which message to actually pass to the task.

  90. system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any

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

  420. help
  421. The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual
  422. drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover
  423. instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to
  424. handle netdev register/unregister/link change/name change events
  425. on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the
  426. failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a
  427. VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows live
  428. migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the
  429. paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
