| ATM is a high-speed networking technology for Local Area Networks | |
| and Wide Area Networks. It uses a fixed packet size and is | |
| connection oriented, allowing for the negotiation of minimum | |
| bandwidth requirements. | |
| In order to participate in an ATM network, your Linux box needs an | |
| ATM networking card. If you have that, say Y here and to the driver | |
| of your ATM card below. | |
| Note that you need a set of user-space programs to actually make use | |
| of ATM. See the file <file:Documentation/networking/atm.txt> for | |
| further details. | |
| config ATM_CLIP | |
| tristate "Classical IP over ATM" | |
| depends on ATM && INET | |
| help | |
| Classical IP over ATM for PVCs and SVCs, supporting InARP and | |
| ATMARP. If you want to communication with other IP hosts on your ATM | |
| network, you will typically either say Y here or to "LAN Emulation | |
| (LANE)" below. | |
| config ATM_CLIP_NO_ICMP | |
| bool "Do NOT send ICMP if no neighbour" | |
| depends on ATM_CLIP | |
| help | |
| Normally, an "ICMP host unreachable" message is sent if a neighbour | |
| cannot be reached because there is no VC to it in the kernel's | |
| ATMARP table. This may cause problems when ATMARP table entries are | |
| briefly removed during revalidation. If you say Y here, packets to | |
| such neighbours are silently discarded instead. | |
| config ATM_LANE | |
| tristate "LAN Emulation (LANE) support" | |
| depends on ATM | |
| help | |
| LAN Emulation emulates services of existing LANs across an ATM | |
| network. Besides operating as a normal ATM end station client, Linux | |
| LANE client can also act as an proxy client bridging packets between | |
| ELAN and Ethernet segments. You need LANE if you want to try MPOA. | |
| config ATM_MPOA | |
| tristate "Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA) support" | |
| depends on ATM && INET && ATM_LANE!=n | |
| help | |
| Multi-Protocol Over ATM allows ATM edge devices such as routers, | |
| bridges and ATM attached hosts establish direct ATM VCs across | |
| subnetwork boundaries. These shortcut connections bypass routers | |
| enhancing overall network performance. | |
| config ATM_BR2684 | |
| tristate "RFC1483/2684 Bridged protocols" | |
| depends on ATM && INET | |
| help | |
| ATM PVCs can carry ethernet PDUs according to RFC2684 (formerly 1483) | |
| This device will act like an ethernet from the kernels point of view, | |
| with the traffic being carried by ATM PVCs (currently 1 PVC/device). | |
| This is sometimes used over DSL lines. If in doubt, say N. | |
| config ATM_BR2684_IPFILTER | |
| bool "Per-VC IP filter kludge" | |
| depends on ATM_BR2684 | |
| help | |
| This is an experimental mechanism for users who need to terminate a | |
| large number of IP-only vcc's. Do not enable this unless you are sure | |
| you know what you are doing. |
