11 ---help---
12 Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
13 through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
14 into connections.
15
16 This is IPv6 support on Layer 3 independent connection tracking.
17 Layer 3 independent connection tracking is experimental scheme
18 which generalize ip_conntrack to support other layer 3 protocols.

24 depends on INET && IPV6 && NETFILTER && EXPERIMENTAL
25 ---help---
26
27 This option adds a queue handler to the kernel for IPv6
28 packets which enables users to receive the filtered packets
29 with QUEUE target using libipq.
30
31 This option enables the old IPv6-only "ip6_queue" implementation
32 which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_queue" code (see
33 CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE).

46 select NETFILTER_XTABLES
47 help
48 ip6tables is a general, extensible packet identification framework.
49 Currently only the packet filtering and packet mangling subsystem
50 for IPv6 use this, but connection tracking is going to follow.
51 Say 'Y' or 'M' here if you want to use either of those.

140 help
141 Packet filtering defines a table `filter', which has a series of
142 rules for simple packet filtering at local input, forwarding and
143 local output. See the man page for iptables(8).

160 The REJECT target allows a filtering rule to specify that an ICMPv6
161 error should be issued in response to an incoming packet, rather
162 than silently being dropped.

166 config IP6_NF_MANGLE
167 tristate "Packet mangling"
168 depends on IP6_NF_IPTABLES
169 help
170 This option adds a `mangle' table to iptables: see the man page for
171 iptables(8). This table is used for various packet alterations
172 which can effect how the packet is routed.

176 config IP6_NF_TARGET_HL
177 tristate 'HL (hoplimit) target support'
178 depends on IP6_NF_MANGLE
179 help
180 This option adds a `HL' target, which enables the user to decrement
181 the hoplimit value of the IPv6 header or set it to a given (lower)
182 value.
183
184 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit value, this option also
185 enables functionality to increment and set the hoplimit value of the
186 IPv6 header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS since
187 you can easily create immortal packets that loop forever on the
188 network.

195 help
196 This option adds a `raw' table to ip6tables. This table is the very
197 first in the netfilter framework and hooks in at the PREROUTING
198 and OUTPUT chains.
199
200 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
201 <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. If unsure, say `N'.
