config NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4
tristate "IPv4 connection tracking support (required for NAT)"
depends on NF_CONNTRACK
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
---help---
Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
into connections.
This is IPv4 support on Layer 3 independent connection tracking.
Layer 3 independent connection tracking is experimental scheme
which generalize ip_conntrack to support other layer 3 protocols.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_PROC_COMPAT
bool "proc/sysctl compatibility with old connection tracking"
depends on NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4
default y
help
This option enables /proc and sysctl compatibility with the old
layer 3 dependant connection tracking. This is needed to keep
old programs that have not been adapted to the new names working.
If unsure, say Y.
config IP_NF_QUEUE
tristate "IP Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)"
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
Netfilter has the ability to queue packets to user space: the
netlink device can be used to access them using this driver.
This option enables the old IPv4-only "ip_queue" implementation
which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_queue" code (see
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_IPTABLES
tristate "IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)"
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
select NETFILTER_XTABLES
help
iptables is a general, extensible packet identification framework.
The packet filtering and full NAT (masquerading, port forwarding,
etc) subsystems now use this: say `Y' or `M' here if you want to use
either of those.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

# `filter', generic and specific targets
config IP_NF_FILTER
tristate "Packet filtering"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
help
Packet filtering defines a table `filter', which has a series of
rules for simple packet filtering at local input, forwarding and
local output. See the man page for iptables(8).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT
tristate "REJECT target support"
depends on IP_NF_FILTER
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
help
The REJECT target allows a filtering rule to specify that an ICMP
error should be issued in response to an incoming packet, rather
than silently being dropped.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_LOG
tristate "LOG target support"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
help
This option adds a `LOG' target, which allows you to create rules in
any iptables table which records the packet header to the syslog.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG
tristate "ULOG target support"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
---help---
This option enables the old IPv4-only "ipt_ULOG" implementation
which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_log" code (see
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_LOG).
This option adds a `ULOG' target, which allows you to create rules in
any iptables table. The packet is passed to a userspace logging
daemon using netlink multicast sockets; unlike the LOG target
which can only be viewed through syslog.
The appropriate userspace logging daemon (ulogd) may be obtained from

# NAT + specific targets: nf_conntrack
config NF_NAT
tristate "Full NAT"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES && NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
help
The Full NAT option allows masquerading, port forwarding and other
forms of full Network Address Port Translation. It is controlled by
the `nat' table in iptables: see the man page for iptables(8).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_NAT_NEEDED
bool
depends on NF_NAT
default y
config IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE
tristate "MASQUERADE target support"
depends on NF_NAT
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
help
Masquerading is a special case of NAT: all outgoing connections are
changed to seem to come from a particular interface's address, and
if the interface goes down, those connections are lost. This is
only useful for dialup accounts with dynamic IP address (ie. your IP
address will be different on next dialup).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT
tristate "REDIRECT target support"
depends on NF_NAT
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
useful for transparent proxies.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_NETMAP
tristate "NETMAP target support"
depends on NF_NAT
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
NETMAP is an implementation of static 1:1 NAT mapping of network
addresses. It maps the network address part, while keeping the host
address part intact. It is similar to Fast NAT, except that
Netfilter's connection tracking doesn't work well with Fast NAT.

config NF_NAT_SNMP_BASIC
tristate "Basic SNMP-ALG support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && NF_NAT
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
---help---
This module implements an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for
SNMP payloads. In conjunction with NAT, it allows a network
management system to access multiple private networks with
conflicting addresses. It works by modifying IP addresses
inside SNMP payloads to match IP-layer NAT mapping.
This is the "basic" form of SNMP-ALG, as described in RFC 2962

# mangle + specific targets
config IP_NF_MANGLE
tristate "Packet mangling"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
help
This option adds a `mangle' table to iptables: see the man page for
iptables(8). This table is used for various packet alterations
which can effect how the packet is routed.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_ECN
tristate "ECN target support"
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
---help---
This option adds a `ECN' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
table.
You can use this target to remove the ECN bits from the IPv4 header of
an IP packet. This is particularly useful, if you need to work around
existing ECN blackholes on the internet, but don't want to disable
ECN support in general.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_TTL
tristate 'TTL target support'
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
This option adds a `TTL' target, which enables the user to modify
the TTL value of the IP header.
While it is safe to decrement/lower the TTL, this target also enables
functionality to increment and set the TTL value of the IP header to
arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS since you can easily
create immortal packets that loop forever on the network.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_CLUSTERIP
tristate "CLUSTERIP target support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE && EXPERIMENTAL
depends on NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
select NF_CONNTRACK_MARK
help
The CLUSTERIP target allows you to build load-balancing clusters of
network servers without having a dedicated load-balancing
router/server/switch.

# raw + specific targets
config IP_NF_RAW
tristate 'raw table support (required for NOTRACK/TRACE)'
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
This option adds a `raw' table to iptables. This table is the very
first in the netfilter framework and hooks in at the PREROUTING
and OUTPUT chains.

use this: say Y or M here if you want to use either of those.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_ARPFILTER
tristate "ARP packet filtering"
depends on IP_NF_ARPTABLES
help
ARP packet filtering defines a table `filter', which has a series of
rules for simple ARP packet filtering at local input and
