| ---help--- |
| The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by |
| Digital (now Compaq). It provides reliable stream and sequenced |
| packet communications over which run a variety of services similar |
| to those which run over TCP/IP. |
| |
| To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please |
| look at Patrick Caulfield's web site: |
| <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>. |
| |
| More detailed documentation is available in |
| <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.rst>. |
| |
| Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support" |
| below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid |
| in configuration at run time. |
| |
| The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be |
| inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). |
| The module is called decnet. |

| ---help--- |
| Add support for turning your DECnet Endnode into a level 1 or 2 |
| router. This is an experimental, but functional option. If you |
| do say Y here, then make sure that you also say Y to "Kernel/User |
| network link driver", "Routing messages" and "Network packet |
| filtering". The first two are required to allow configuration via |
| rtnetlink (you will need Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package |
| from <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>). The "Network packet |
| filtering" option will be required for the forthcoming routing daemon |
| to work. |
