| ---help--- | |
| The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by | |
| Digital (now Compaq). It provides reliable stream and sequenced | |
| packet communications over which run a variety of services similar | |
| to those which run over TCP/IP. | |
| To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please | |
| look at Patrick Caulfield's web site: | |
| <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>. | |
| More detailed documentation is available in | |
| <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt>. | |
| Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support" | |
| below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid | |
| in configuration at run time. | |
| The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be | |
| inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). | |
| The module is called decnet. | |
| config DECNET_ROUTER | |
| bool "DECnet: router support (EXPERIMENTAL)" | |
| depends on DECNET && EXPERIMENTAL | |
| select FIB_RULES | |
| ---help--- | |
| Add support for turning your DECnet Endnode into a level 1 or 2 | |
| router. This is an experimental, but functional option. If you | |
| do say Y here, then make sure that you also say Y to "Kernel/User | |
| network link driver", "Routing messages" and "Network packet | |
| filtering". The first two are required to allow configuration via | |
| rtnetlink (you will need Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package | |
| from <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>). The "Network packet | |
| filtering" option will be required for the forthcoming routing daemon | |
| to work. | |
