8 This is code for addressing several networked computers at once,
9 enlarging your kernel by about 2 KB. You need multicasting if you
10 intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top
11 of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More
12 information about the MBONE is on the WWW at

1da177e4
LT
17 ---help---
18 If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
19 computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
20 will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
21 control about the routing process.
22
23 The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
24 answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
25 questions about advanced routing.
26
27 Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
28 forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
29 file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
30 line
31
32 echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
33
34 at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.
35
b2cc46a8 36 If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which
1da177e4
LT
37 automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
38 for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
39 arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
40 so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
41 asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
42 than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
43 host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
d7394372 44 rp_filter on use:
1da177e4 45
d7394372 46 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter
750e9fad 47 or
d7394372 48 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter

271 Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN

275 operate from anywhere on the Internet.

279 protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to

282 SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
283 about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.

285 If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is

488 episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a
489 slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into
490 account the bandwidth used at the time congestion is experienced.
491 TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in
492 wired networks and throughput over wireless links.

542
543 Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
544 queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
545 when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
546 can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.

611
612 - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate),
613 - Low latency (short flows, queries),
614 - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with
615 commodity, shallow-buffered switches.
616
617 All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support
618 ECN marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch
619 buffer thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for
620 DCTCP on switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets
621 (~100KB) at 10Gbps, but might need further careful tweaking.
