  7. The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by
  8. Digital (now Compaq). It provides reliable stream and sequenced
  9. packet communications over which run a variety of services similar
  10. to those which run over TCP/IP.
  11. To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please
  12. look at Patrick Caulfield's web site:
  13. <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>.
  14. More detailed documentation is available in
  15. <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt>.
  16. Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support"
  17. below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid
  18. in configuration at run time.
  19. The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
  20. inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
  21. The module is called decnet.
  22. config DECNET_ROUTER
  23. bool "DECnet: router support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  24. depends on DECNET && EXPERIMENTAL
  25. select FIB_RULES
  26. ---help---
  27. Add support for turning your DECnet Endnode into a level 1 or 2
  28. router. This is an experimental, but functional option. If you
  29. do say Y here, then make sure that you also say Y to "Kernel/User
  30. network link driver", "Routing messages" and "Network packet
  31. filtering". The first two are required to allow configuration via
  32. rtnetlink (you will need Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package
  33. from <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>). The "Network packet
  34. filtering" option will be required for the forthcoming routing daemon
  35. to work.
  36. See <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt> for more information.
