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
4960c2c6 12 <http://www.savetz.com/mbone/>. For most people, it's safe to say N.

15 bool "IP: advanced router"
1da177e4
LT
16 ---help---
17 If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
18 computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
19 will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
20 control about the routing process.
21
22 The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
23 answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
24 questions about advanced routing.
25
26 Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
27 forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
28 file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
29 line
30
31 echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
32
33 at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.
34
b2cc46a8 35 If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which
1da177e4
LT
36 automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
37 for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
38 arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
39 so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
40 asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
41 than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
42 host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
d7394372 43 rp_filter on use:
1da177e4 44
d7394372 45 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter
750e9fad 46 or
d7394372 47 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter

67 Normally, a router decides what to do with a received packet based
68 solely on the packet's final destination address. If you say Y here,
69 the Linux router will also be able to take the packet's source
70 address into account. Furthermore, the TOS (Type-Of-Service) field
71 of the packet can be used for routing decisions as well.

85 Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
86 a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
87 however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
88 pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
89 for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
90 equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
91 if a matching packet arrives.

1da177e4
LT
265 ---help---
266 Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN
267 flooding". This denial-of-service attack prevents legitimate remote
268 users from being able to connect to your computer during an ongoing
269 attack and requires very little work from the attacker, who can
270 operate from anywhere on the Internet.
271
272 SYN cookies provide protection against this type of attack. If you
273 say Y here, the TCP/IP stack will use a cryptographic challenge
274 protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to
275 continue to connect, even when your machine is under attack. There
276 is no need for the legitimate users to change their TCP/IP software;
277 SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
278 about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.
279
280 If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is
281 likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as
282 an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not
283 be taken as absolute truth.
284

495 control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set
496 congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion
497 episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a
498 slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into
499 account the bandwidth used at the time congestion is experienced.
500 TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in
501 wired networks and throughput over wireless links.

551
552 Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
553 queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
554 when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
555 can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.

620
621 - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate),
622 - Low latency (short flows, queries),
623 - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with
624 commodity, shallow-buffered switches.
625
626 All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support
627 ECN marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch
628 buffer thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for
629 DCTCP on switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets
630 (~100KB) at 10Gbps, but might need further careful tweaking.
