	  This is code for addressing several networked computers at once,

	  of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More

config IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
	bool "IP: advanced router"
	---help---
	  If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
	  computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
	  will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
	  control about the routing process.

	  The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
	  answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
	  questions about advanced routing.

	  Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
	  forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
	  file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
	  line

	  echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

	  at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.

36
	  If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which

	  automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
	  for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
	  arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
	  so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
	  asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
	  than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
	  host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
44
	  rp_filter on use:

	TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno
	protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion
	control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set
	congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion
	episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a
	slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into
	account the bandwidth used  at the time congestion is experienced.
	TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in
	wired networks and throughput over wireless links.

       TCP NV is a follow up to TCP Vegas. It has been modified to deal with
       10G networks, measurement noise introduced by LRO, GRO and interrupt
       coalescence. In addition, it will decrease its cwnd multiplicatively
       instead of linearly.

       Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
       queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
       when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
       can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.

	DCTCP leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to

	- High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate),
	- Low latency (short flows, queries),
	- High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with
	  commodity, shallow-buffered switches.

	All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support
	ECN marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch
	buffer thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for
	DCTCP on switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets
	(~100KB) at 10Gbps, but might need further careful tweaking.
