 # Options:
 #   - pointopoint=IP: other endpoint's (private) IP (sets routing)
 #   - snat=1: enables SNAT ip rules
+#   - dropkern=1: drops RST packets generated by the kernel
 #   - txqueuelen=N: sets TX queue
 #   - gre=<> : enable GRE tunnelling - several formats supported
 #   -   gre=true|yes|name : computes GRE key as a hash of slice name (so it's valid across federations)
