| 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. |

| config ATM_CLIP |
| tristate "Classical IP over ATM (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on ATM && INET |
| help |
| 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. |
| |
| config ATM_CLIP_NO_ICMP |
| bool "Do NOT send ICMP if no neighbour (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on ATM_CLIP |
| 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. |
| |
| config ATM_LANE |
| tristate "LAN Emulation (LANE) support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on ATM |
| help |
| 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. |
| |
| config ATM_MPOA |
| tristate "Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA) support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on ATM && INET && ATM_LANE!=n |
| help |
| 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. |

| help |
| 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. |
| |
| config ATM_BR2684_IPFILTER |
| bool "Per-VC IP filter kludge" |

| help |
| 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. |
