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"
35	depends on IPV6_ROUTER_PREF
36	---help---
37	  This is experimental support of Route Information.
38
39	  If unsure, say N.

41config IPV6_OPTIMISTIC_DAD
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.

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

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

173	select IPV6_TUNNEL
174	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
175	depends on INET6_XFRM_MODE_TUNNEL
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 can be used with xfrm mode tunnel to give
180	the notion of a secure tunnel for IPSEC and then use routing protocol
181	on top.
182
183config IPV6_SIT
184	tristate "IPv6: IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel (SIT driver)"
185	select INET_TUNNEL
186	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
187	select IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE
188	default y
189	---help---
190	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
191	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
192	  encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6
193	  into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6
194	  networks over an IPv4-only path.
195
196	  Saying M here will produce a module called sit. If unsure, say Y.
197
198config IPV6_SIT_6RD
199	bool "IPv6: IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD)"
200	depends on IPV6_SIT
201	default n
202	---help---
203	  IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
204	  mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
205	  deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
206	  customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
207	  IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
208	  infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
209	  prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
210
211	  With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
212	  providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
213	  stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
214
215	  If unsure, say N.

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

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

278config IPV6_MROUTE
279	bool "IPv6: multicast routing"

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

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