You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
any other computer at all.
You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.

Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
performance and high availability operation.
Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.rst> for more
information.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called bonding.
config DUMMY

help
This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. It won't
enlarge your kernel. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
Administrator's Guide, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

net: WireGuard secure network tunnel WireGuard is a layer 3 secure networking tunnel made specifically for the kernel, that aims to be much simpler and easier to audit than IPsec. Extensive documentation and description of the protocol and considerations, along with formal proofs of the cryptography, are available at: * https://www.wireguard.com/ * https://www.wireguard.com/papers/wireguard.pdf This commit implements WireGuard as a simple network device driver, accessible in the usual RTNL way used by virtual network drivers. It makes use of the udp_tunnel APIs, GRO, GSO, NAPI, and the usual set of networking subsystem APIs. It has a somewhat novel multicore queueing system designed for maximum throughput and minimal latency of encryption operations, but it is implemented modestly using workqueues and NAPI. Configuration is done via generic Netlink, and following a review from the Netlink maintainer a year ago, several high profile userspace tools have already implemented the API. This commit also comes with several different tests, both in-kernel tests and out-of-kernel tests based on network namespaces, taking profit of the fact that sockets used by WireGuard intentionally stay in the namespace the WireGuard interface was originally created, exactly like the semantics of userspace tun devices. See wireguard.com/netns/ for pictures and examples. The source code is fairly short, but rather than combining everything into a single file, WireGuard is developed as cleanly separable files, making auditing and comprehension easier. Things are laid out as follows: * noise.[ch], cookie.[ch], messages.h: These implement the bulk of the cryptographic aspects of the protocol, and are mostly data-only in nature, taking in buffers of bytes and spitting out buffers of bytes. They also handle reference counting for their various shared pieces of data, like keys and key lists. * ratelimiter.[ch]: Used as an integral part of cookie.[ch] for ratelimiting certain types of cryptographic operations in accordance with particular WireGuard semantics. * allowedips.[ch], peerlookup.[ch]: The main lookup structures of WireGuard, the former being trie-like with particular semantics, an integral part of the design of the protocol, and the latter just being nice helper functions around the various hashtables we use. * device.[ch]: Implementation of functions for the netdevice and for rtnl, responsible for maintaining the life of a given interface and wiring it up to the rest of WireGuard. * peer.[ch]: Each interface has a list of peers, with helper functions available here for creation, destruction, and reference counting. * socket.[ch]: Implementation of functions related to udp_socket and the general set of kernel socket APIs, for sending and receiving ciphertext UDP packets, and taking care of WireGuard-specific sticky socket routing semantics for the automatic roaming. * netlink.[ch]: Userspace API entry point for configuring WireGuard peers and devices. The API has been implemented by several userspace tools and network management utility, and the WireGuard project distributes the basic wg(8) tool. * queueing.[ch]: Shared function on the rx and tx path for handling the various queues used in the multicore algorithms. * send.c: Handles encrypting outgoing packets in parallel on multiple cores, before sending them in order on a single core, via workqueues and ring buffers. Also handles sending handshake and cookie messages as part of the protocol, in parallel. * receive.c: Handles decrypting incoming packets in parallel on multiple cores, before passing them off in order to be ingested via the rest of the networking subsystem with GRO via the typical NAPI poll function. Also handles receiving handshake and cookie messages as part of the protocol, in parallel. * timers.[ch]: Uses the timer wheel to implement protocol particular event timeouts, and gives a set of very simple event-driven entry point functions for callers. * main.c, version.h: Initialization and deinitialization of the module. * selftest/*.h: Runtime unit tests for some of the most security sensitive functions. * tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/netns.sh: Aforementioned testing script using network namespaces. This commit aims to be as self-contained as possible, implementing WireGuard as a standalone module not needing much special handling or coordination from the network subsystem. I expect for future optimizations to the network stack to positively improve WireGuard, and vice-versa, but for the time being, this exists as intentionally standalone.

WireGuard is a secure, fast, and easy to use replacement for IPSec
that uses modern cryptography and clever networking tricks. It's
designed to be fairly general purpose and abstract enough to fit most
use cases, while at the same time remaining extremely simple to
configure. See www.wireguard.com for more info.
It's safe to say Y or M here, as the driver is very lightweight and
is only in use when an administrator chooses to add an interface.

SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
Say Y if you want this and read

net: introduce ethernet teaming device This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding driver. Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available here: https://github.com/jpirko/libteam Note it's still in its dipers atm. team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc. Python binding of libteam was recently introduced. Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in kernel team driver. v7->v8: - check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling them. - use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb() v6->v7: - transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths. That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is present v5->v6: - changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers v4->v5: - team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port list - mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and possibly other weird things with mac addresses. Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then enslaved. - Extended Kconfig text v3->v4: - remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode() - revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte" - extend comment of function __team_change_mode() v2->v3: - team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind - set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte - port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure - error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now - fixed rtln->rtnl v1->v2: - modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and extendable. - several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed - several other bugs were fixed. - note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode "random") in future.

The device operates in two different modes and the difference in these two modes in primarily in the TX side. (a) L2 mode : In this mode, the device behaves as a L2 device. TX processing upto L2 happens on the stack of the virtual device associated with (namespace). Packets are switched after that into the main device (default-ns) and queued for xmit.

net: Add a WWAN subsystem This change introduces initial support for a WWAN framework. Given the complexity and heterogeneity of existing WWAN hardwares and interfaces, there is no strict definition of what a WWAN device is and how it should be represented. It's often a collection of multiple devices that perform the global WWAN feature (netdev, tty, chardev, etc). One usual way to expose modem controls and configuration is via high level protocols such as the well known AT command protocol, MBIM or QMI. The USB modems started to expose them as character devices, and user daemons such as ModemManager learnt to use them. This initial version adds the concept of WWAN port, which is a logical pipe to a modem control protocol. The protocols are rawly exposed to user via character device, allowing straigthforward support in existing tools (ModemManager, ofono...). The WWAN core takes care of the generic part, including character device management, and relies on port driver operations to receive/submit protocol data. Since the different devices exposing protocols for a same WWAN hardware do not necessarily know about each others (e.g. two different USB interfaces, PCI/MHI channel devices...) and can be created/removed in different orders, the WWAN core ensures that all WAN ports contributing to the 'whole' WWAN feature are grouped under the same virtual WWAN device, relying on the provided parent device (e.g. mhi controller, USB device). It's a 'trick' I copied from Johannes's earlier WWAN subsystem proposal. This initial version is purposely minimalist, it's essentially moving the generic part of the previously proposed mhi_wwan_ctrl driver inside a common WWAN framework, but the implementation is open and flexible enough to allow extension for further drivers.

xen network backend driver netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows. The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback. One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the future. Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7ad "xen/irq: implement bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge window: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for cross merging into the net branch.
