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

41config IPV6_OPTIMISTIC_DAD
42	bool "IPv6: Enable RFC 4429 Optimistic DAD"
43	---help---
44	  Support for optimistic Duplicate Address Detection. It allows for
45	  autoconfigured addresses to be used more quickly.

80	select XFRM_OFFLOAD
81	default n
82	---help---
83	  Support for ESP transformation offload. This makes sense
84	  only if this system really does IPsec and want to do it
85	  with high throughput. A typical desktop system does not
86	  need it, even if it does IPsec.
87
88	  If unsure, say N.

108config IPV6_ILA
109	tristate "IPv6: Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA)"
110	depends on NETFILTER
111	select LWTUNNEL
112	---help---
113	  Support for IPv6 Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA).
114
115	  ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without
116	  encapsulation. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an
117	  IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The
118	  identifier is the identity of an entity in communication
119	  ("who") and the locator expresses the location of the
120	  entity ("where").
121
122	  ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with
123	  "ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in
124	  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00.

172	select IPV6_TUNNEL
173	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
174	depends on INET6_XFRM_MODE_TUNNEL
175	---help---
176	Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
177	another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
178	encapsulating protocol. This can be used with xfrm mode tunnel to give
179	the notion of a secure tunnel for IPSEC and then use routing protocol
180	on top.
181

184	select INET_TUNNEL
185	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
186	select IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE
187	default y
188	---help---
189	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
190	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
191	  encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6
192	  into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6
193	  networks over an IPv4-only path.
194
195	  Saying M here will produce a module called sit. If unsure, say Y.
196
197config IPV6_SIT_6RD
198	bool "IPv6: IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD)"
199	depends on IPV6_SIT
200	default n
201	---help---
202	  IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
203	  mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
204	  deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
205	  customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
206	  IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
207	  infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
208	  prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
209
210	  With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
211	  providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
212	  stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
213
214	  If unsure, say N.

232	select IPV6_TUNNEL
233	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
234	depends on NET_IPGRE_DEMUX
235	---help---
236	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
237	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
238	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
239	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
240	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
241	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
242	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
243	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
244	  through the tunnel.
245
246	  Saying M here will produce a module called ip6_gre. If unsure, say N.

262
263config IPV6_SUBTREES
264	bool "IPv6: source address based routing"
265	depends on IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
266	---help---
267	  Enable routing by source address or prefix.
268
269	  The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
270	  normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
271	  may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior.  This can be
272	  avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
273	  source prefix specific routes.
274
275	  If unsure, say N.

286	bool "IPv6: multicast policy routing"
287	depends on IPV6_MROUTE
288	select FIB_RULES
289	help
290	  Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
291	  what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
292	  destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
293	  will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
294	  account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
295	  simultaneously, each one handling a single table.

312	---help---
313	  Support for encapsulation of packets within an outer IPv6
314	  header and a Segment Routing Header using the lightweight
315	  tunnels mechanism. Also enable support for advanced local
316	  processing of SRv6 packets based on their active segment.
