9	---help---
10	  This is complemental support for the IP version 6.
11	  You will still be able to do traditional IPv4 networking as well.
12
13	  For general information about IPv6, see
14	  <http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-main.html>.
15	  For Linux IPv6 development information, see <http://www.linux-ipv6.org>.
16	  For specific information about IPv6 under Linux, read the HOWTO at
17	  <http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/>.
18
19	  To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the
20	  module will be called ipv6.

24config IPV6_PRIVACY
25	bool "IPv6: Privacy Extensions support"
26	---help---
27	  Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6
28	  support.  With this option, additional periodically-alter
29	  pseudo-random global-scope unicast address(es) will assigned to
30	  your interface(s).
31
32	  We use our standard pseudo random algorithm to generate randomized
33	  interface identifier, instead of one described in RFC 3041.
34
35	  By default, kernel do not generate temporary addresses.
36	  To use temporary addresses, do
37
38	        echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr

46	  Advertisement message to improve the ability of hosts
47	  to pick more appropriate router, especially when the hosts
48	  is placed in a multi-homed network.

165	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
166	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
167	  encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6
168	  into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6
169	  networks over an IPv4-only path.

195	---help---
196	  Enable routing by source address or prefix.
197
198	  The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
199	  normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
200	  may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior.  This can be
201	  avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
202	  source prefix specific routes.
