							|  |  |  | 	  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. |

							|  |  |  | 	  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. |
