- This is a backward compatibility option, choose Y for now.

- This is experimental support for the IP version 6 (formerly called
- IPng "IP next generation"). You will still be able to do
- regular IPv4 networking as well.
-
- Features of this new protocol include: expanded address space,
- authentication and privacy, and seamless interoperability with the
- current version of IP (IP version 4). For general information about
- IPv6, see <http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-main.html>;
- for specific information about IPv6 under Linux read the HOWTO at
- <http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/> and the file net/ipv6/README
- in the kernel source.
+ This is complemental support for the IP version 6.
+ You will still be able to do traditional IPv4 networking as well.

+ For general information about IPv6, see

To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ipv6.

-config NET_FASTROUTE
- bool "Fast switching (read help!)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- ---help---
- Saying Y here enables direct NIC-to-NIC (NIC = Network Interface
- Card) data transfers on the local network, which is fast.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: This option is NOT COMPATIBLE with "Network packet
- filtering" (CONFIG_NETFILTER). Say N here if you say Y there.
-
- However, it will work with all options in the "Advanced router"
- section (except for "Use TOS value as routing key" and
- "Use FWMARK value as routing key").
-
- At the moment, few devices support fast switching (tulip is one of
- them, a modified 8390 driver can be found at
- <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/fastroute/fastroute-8390.tar.gz>).
-
- If unsure, say N.

-config NET_HW_FLOWCONTROL
- bool "Forwarding between high speed interfaces"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- ---help---
- This option enables NIC (Network Interface Card) hardware throttling
- during periods of extreme congestion. At the moment only a couple
- of device drivers support it (really only one -- tulip, a modified
- 8390 driver can be found at
- <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/fastroute/fastroute-8390.tar.gz>).
-
- Really, this option is applicable to any machine attached to a fast
- enough network, and even a 10 Mb NIC is able to kill a not very slow
- box, such as a 120MHz Pentium.
-
- However, do not say Y here if you did not experience any serious
- problems.
