Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing its usage. The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems to enable respectively disable mark based routing only obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant, and most distributions have all these options enabled by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove the config options and enable mark based routing by default. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

|
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.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 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
|
|
depends on DECNET && EXPERIMENTAL
|
|
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.
