Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets. Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will follow. Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens.

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>.

---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.

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.
