|  | ---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. |
