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.txt>. + + 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. + +config DECNET_ROUTER + bool "DECnet: router support" + depends on DECNET + select FIB_RULES + ---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. + + See <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt> for more information. + |
