+menuconfig NET
+ bool "Networking support"
+ ---help---
+ Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
+ The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
+ when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
+ other computer.
+
+ If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
+ should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
+ in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
+ contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
+ of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
+
+ For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
+ recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

+ bool "TCP/IP networking"
+ ---help---
+ These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
+ Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
+ your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
+ system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
+ other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
+ allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).
+
+ For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
+ Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+ If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
+ "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
+ behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
+ /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
+ <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
+
+ Short answer: say Y.

+
+menuconfig NETFILTER
+ bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
+ ---help---
+ Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
+ that pass through your Linux box.
+
+ The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
+ a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
+ firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
+ filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
+ based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
+ a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
+ bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
+ closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
+ protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
+ firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
+ clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
+ they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
+ you say Y here.
+
+ You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
+ the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
+ globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
+ of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
+ the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
+ forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
+ modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
+ firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
+ replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
+ correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
+ are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
+ reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
+ run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
+ using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
+ called NAT (Network Address Translation).
+
+ Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
+ the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
+ box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
+ typically a caching proxy server.
+
+ Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
+ a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
+ the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
+ protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
+ configuration).
+
+ Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
+ masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
+ proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
+ <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
+ these packages.
+
+ Make sure to say N to "Fast switching" below if you intend to say Y
+ here, as Fast switching currently bypasses netfilter.
+
+ Chances are that you should say Y here if you compile a kernel which
+ will run as a router and N for regular hosts. If unsure, say N.

+ default y
+ help
+ If you say Y here you can select between all the netfilter modules.
+ If you say N the more ununsual ones will not be shown and the
+ basic ones needed by most people will default to 'M'.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+config BRIDGE_NETFILTER
+ bool "Bridged IP/ARP packets filtering"
+ depends on BRIDGE && NETFILTER && INET
+ depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ Enabling this option will let arptables resp. iptables see bridged
+ ARP resp. IP traffic. If you want a bridging firewall, you probably
+ want this option enabled.
+ Enabling or disabling this option doesn't enable or disable
+ ebtables.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
