10	  Support for IP version 6 (IPv6).

23config IPV6_ROUTER_PREF
24	bool "IPv6: Router Preference (RFC 4191) support"
25	---help---
26	  Router Preference is an optional extension to the Router
27	  Advertisement message which improves the ability of hosts
28	  to pick an appropriate router, especially when the hosts
29	  are placed in a multi-homed network.
30
31	  If unsure, say N.

33config IPV6_ROUTE_INFO
34	bool "IPv6: Route Information (RFC 4191) support"

42	bool "IPv6: Enable RFC 4429 Optimistic DAD"
43	---help---
44	  This is experimental support for optimistic Duplicate
45	  Address Detection.  It allows for autoconfigured addresses
46	  to be used more quickly.

96config IPV6_ILA
97	tristate "IPv6: Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA)"
98	depends on NETFILTER
99	select LWTUNNEL
100	---help---
101	  Support for IPv6 Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA).
102
103	  ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without
104	  encapsulation. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an
105	  IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The
106	  identifier is the identity of an entity in communication
107	  ("who") and the locator expresses the location of the
108	  entity ("where").
109
110	  ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with
111	  "ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in
112	  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00.

160	select IPV6_TUNNEL
161	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
162	depends on INET6_XFRM_MODE_TUNNEL
163	---help---
164	Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
165	another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
166	encapsulating protocol. This can be used with xfrm mode tunnel to give
167	the notion of a secure tunnel for IPSEC and then use routing protocol
168	on top.

172	select INET_TUNNEL
173	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
174	select IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE
175	default y
176	---help---
177	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
178	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
179	  encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6
180	  into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6
181	  networks over an IPv4-only path.
182
183	  Saying M here will produce a module called sit. If unsure, say Y.
184
185config IPV6_SIT_6RD
186	bool "IPv6: IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD)"
187	depends on IPV6_SIT
188	default n
189	---help---
190	  IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
191	  mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
192	  deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
193	  customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
194	  IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
195	  infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
196	  prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
197
198	  With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
199	  providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
200	  stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
201
202	  If unsure, say N.

217config IPV6_GRE
218	tristate "IPv6: GRE tunnel"
219	select IPV6_TUNNEL
220	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
221	---help---
222	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
223	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
224	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
225	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
226	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
227	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
228	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
229	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
230	  through the tunnel.
231
232	  Saying M here will produce a module called ip6_gre. If unsure, say N.
233
234config IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
235	bool "IPv6: Multiple Routing Tables"
236	select FIB_RULES
237	---help---
238	  Support multiple routing tables.
239
240config IPV6_SUBTREES
241	bool "IPv6: source address based routing"
242	depends on IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
243	---help---
244	  Enable routing by source address or prefix.
245
246	  The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
247	  normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
248	  may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior.  This can be
249	  avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
250	  source prefix specific routes.
251
252	  If unsure, say N.
253
254config IPV6_MROUTE
255	bool "IPv6: multicast routing"

257	---help---
258	  Experimental support for IPv6 multicast forwarding.
259	  If unsure, say N.
260
261config IPV6_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES
262	bool "IPv6: multicast policy routing"
263	depends on IPV6_MROUTE
264	select FIB_RULES
265	help
266	  Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
267	  what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
268	  destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
269	  will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
270	  account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
271	  simultaneously, each one handling a single table.
272
273	  If unsure, say N.
274
275config IPV6_PIMSM_V2
276	bool "IPv6: PIM-SM version 2 support"
277	depends on IPV6_MROUTE
278	---help---

280	  If unsure, say N.
