+APPENDIX E. NETWORK CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
+.sp
+.R
+.NL
+.PP
+The network support in the kernel is self-configuring
+according to the protocol support options (INET and NS) and the network
+hardware discovered during autoconfiguration.
+There are several changes that may be made to customize network behavior
+due to local restrictions.
+Within the Internet protocol routines, the following options
+set in the system configuration file are supported:
+.IP \fBGATEWAY\fP
+.br
+The machine is to be used as a gateway.
+This option currently makes only minor changes.
+First, the size of the network routing hash table is increased.
+Secondly, machines that have only a single hardware network interface
+will not forward IP packets; without this option, they will also refrain
+from sending any error indication to the source of unforwardable packets.
+Gateways with only a single interface are assumed to have missing
+or broken interfaces, and will return ICMP unreachable errors to hosts
+sending them packets to be forwarded.
+.IP \fBTCP_COMPAT_42\fP
+.br
+This option forces the system to limit its initial TCP sequence numbers
+to positive numbers.
+Without this option, 4.4BSD systems may have problems with TCP connections
+to 4.2BSD systems that connect but never transfer data.
+The problem is a bug in the 4.2BSD TCP.
+.IP \fBIPFORWARDING\fP
+.br
+Normally, 4.4BSD machines with multiple network interfaces
+will forward IP packets received that should be resent to another host.
+If the line ``options IPFORWARDING="0"'' is in the system configuration
+file, IP packet forwarding will be disabled.
+.IP \fBIPSENDREDIRECTS\fP
+.br
+When forwarding IP packets, 4.4BSD IP will note when a packet is forwarded
+using the same interface on which it arrived.
+When this is noted, if the source machine is on the directly-attached
+network, an ICMP redirect is sent to the source host.
+If the packet was forwarded using a route to a host or to a subnet,
+a host redirect is sent, otherwise a network redirect is sent.
+The generation of redirects may be inhibited with the configuration
+option ``options IPSENDREDIRECTS="0".''
+.br
+.IP \fBSUBNETSARELOCAL\fP
+TCP calculates a maximum segment size to use for each connection,
+and sends no datagrams larger than that size.
+This size will be no larger than that supported on the outgoing
+interface.
+Furthermore, if the destination is not on the local network,
+the size will be no larger than 576 bytes.
+For this test, other subnets of a directly-connected subnetted
+network are considered to be local unless the line
+``options SUBNETSARELOCAL="0"'' is used in the system configuration file.
+.LP
+The following options are supported by the Xerox NS protocols:
+.IP \fBNSIP\fP
+.br
+This option allows NS IDP datagrams to be encapsulated in Internet IP
+packets for transmission to a collaborating NSIP host.
+This may be used to pass IDP packets through IP-only link layer networks.
+See
+.IR nsip (4P)
+for details.
+.IP \fBTHREEWAYSHAKE\fP
+.br
+The NS Sequenced Packet Protocol does not require a three-way handshake
+before considering a connection to be in the established state.
+(A three-way handshake consists of a connection request, an acknowledgement
+of the request along with a symmetrical opening indication,
+and then an acknowledgement of the reciprocal opening packet.)
+This option forces a three-way handshake before data may be transmitted
+on Sequenced Packet sockets.
