143	---help---
144	Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
145	another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
146	encapsulating protocol. This can be used with xfrm mode tunnel to give
147	the notion of a secure tunnel for IPSEC and then use routing protocol
148	on top.

156	---help---
157	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
158	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
159	  encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6
160	  into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6
161	  networks over an IPv4-only path.
162
163	  Saying M here will produce a module called sit. If unsure, say Y.

166	bool "IPv6: IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD)"
167	depends on IPV6_SIT
168	default n
169	---help---
170	  IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
171	  mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
172	  deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
173	  customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
174	  IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
175	  infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
176	  prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
177
178	  With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
179	  providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
180	  stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
181

197	tristate "IPv6: GRE tunnel"
198	select IPV6_TUNNEL
199	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
200	---help---
201	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
202	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
203	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
204	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
205	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
206	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
207	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
208	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
209	  through the tunnel.
210
211	  Saying M here will produce a module called ip6_gre. If unsure, say N.
212
213config IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES

218
219config IPV6_SUBTREES
220	bool "IPv6: source address based routing"
221	depends on IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
222	---help---
223	  Enable routing by source address or prefix.
224
225	  The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
226	  normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
227	  may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior.  This can be
228	  avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
229	  source prefix specific routes.
230
231	  If unsure, say N.
232
233config IPV6_MROUTE
234	bool "IPv6: multicast routing"

241	bool "IPv6: multicast policy routing"
242	depends on IPV6_MROUTE
243	select FIB_RULES
244	help
245	  Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
246	  what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
247	  destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
248	  will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
249	  account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
250	  simultaneously, each one handling a single table.
251
252	  If unsure, say N.
