12 Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
13 through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
16 This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
17 Address Translation (except for Fast NAT). It can also be used to
18 enhance packet filtering (see `Connection state match support'
21 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
24 bool "Connection tracking flow accounting"
25 depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK

37 depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
39 This option enables support for connection marks, used by the
40 `CONNMARK' target and `connmark' match. Similar to the mark value
41 of packets, but this mark value is kept in the conntrack session
42 instead of the individual packets.
44 config IP_NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS
45 bool "Connection tracking events"
46 depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
48 If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
49 provide a notifier chain that can be used by other kernel code

77 required for tracking them, and doing masquerading and other forms
78 of Network Address Translation on them.
80 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say Y.
83 tristate "IRC protocol support"
84 depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
86 There is a commonly-used extension to IRC called
87 Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC). This enables users to send
88 files to each other, and also chat to each other without the need
89 of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
90 and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
91 using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
92 chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or
93 have others initiate chats, or everything else in IRC.

97 config IP_NF_NETBIOS_NS
98 tristate "NetBIOS name service protocol support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
99 depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK && EXPERIMENTAL
101 NetBIOS name service requests are sent as broadcast messages from an
102 unprivileged port and responded to with unicast messages to the
103 same port. This make them hard to firewall properly because connection
104 tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
105 originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
106 responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
107 netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
108 of "ip address show" should look similar to this:
110 $ ip -4 address show eth0
111 4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

714 in the `mangle' table which alter the netfilter mark (nfmark) field
715 associated with the packet prior to routing. This can change
716 the routing method (see `Use netfilter MARK value as routing
717 key') and can also be used by other subsystems to change their
720 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
722 config IP_NF_TARGET_CLASSIFY
723 tristate "CLASSIFY target support"
724 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
726 This option adds a `CLASSIFY' target, which enables the user to set
727 the priority of a packet. Some qdiscs can use this value for
728 classification, among these are:
730 atm, cbq, dsmark, pfifo_fast, htb, prio
732 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
734 config IP_NF_TARGET_TTL
735 tristate 'TTL target support'
736 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
738 This option adds a `TTL' target, which enables the user to modify
739 the TTL value of the IP header.
741 While it is safe to decrement/lower the TTL, this target also enables
742 functionality to increment and set the TTL value of the IP header to
743 arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS since you can easily
744 create immortal packets that loop forever on the network.
746 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
748 config IP_NF_TARGET_CONNMARK
749 tristate 'CONNMARK target support'
750 depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK && IP_NF_MANGLE
752 This option adds a `CONNMARK' target, which allows one to manipulate
753 the connection mark value. Similar to the MARK target, but
754 affects the connection mark value rather than the packet mark value.
756 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
757 <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module will be called
758 ipt_CONNMARK.o. If unsure, say `N'.
760 config IP_NF_TARGET_CLUSTERIP
761 tristate "CLUSTERIP target support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
762 depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK && IP_NF_IPTABLES && EXPERIMENTAL
764 The CLUSTERIP target allows you to build load-balancing clusters of
765 network servers without having a dedicated load-balancing
766 router/server/switch.
768 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
770 # raw + specific targets
772 tristate 'raw table support (required for NOTRACK/TRACE)'
773 depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
775 This option adds a `raw' table to iptables. This table is the very
776 first in the netfilter framework and hooks in at the PREROUTING
779 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
780 <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. If unsure, say `N'.
782 config IP_NF_TARGET_NOTRACK
783 tristate 'NOTRACK target support'
785 depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
787 The NOTRACK target allows a select rule to specify
788 which packets *not* to enter the conntrack/NAT
789 subsystem with all the consequences (no ICMP error tracking,
790 no protocol helpers for the selected packets).
792 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
793 <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. If unsure, say `N'.
797 config IP_NF_ARPTABLES
798 tristate "ARP tables support"
800 arptables is a general, extensible packet identification framework.
801 The ARP packet filtering and mangling (manipulation)subsystems
802 use this: say Y or M here if you want to use either of those.
804 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
806 config IP_NF_ARPFILTER
807 tristate "ARP packet filtering"
808 depends on IP_NF_ARPTABLES
810 ARP packet filtering defines a table `filter', which has a series of
811 rules for simple ARP packet filtering at local input and
812 local output. On a bridge, you can also specify filtering rules
813 for forwarded ARP packets. See the man page for arptables(8).
815 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
817 config IP_NF_ARP_MANGLE
818 tristate "ARP payload mangling"
819 depends on IP_NF_ARPTABLES
821 Allows altering the ARP packet payload: source and destination
822 hardware and network addresses.
