[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols
Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

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.

|

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is an experimental mechanism for users who need to terminating a

large number of IP-only vcc's. Do not enable this unless you are sure
|

you know what you are doing.
