| 9 | ATM is a high-speed networking technology for Local Area Networks | ||
| 10 | and Wide Area Networks. It uses a fixed packet size and is | ||
| 11 | connection oriented, allowing for the negotiation of minimum | ||
| 12 | bandwidth requirements. | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | In order to participate in an ATM network, your Linux box needs an | ||
| 15 | ATM networking card. If you have that, say Y here and to the driver | ||
| 16 | of your ATM card below. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | Note that you need a set of user-space programs to actually make use | ||
| 19 | of ATM. See the file <file:Documentation/networking/atm.txt> for | ||
| 20 | further details. | ||

| 26 | Classical IP over ATM for PVCs and SVCs, supporting InARP and | ||
| 27 | ATMARP. If you want to communication with other IP hosts on your ATM | ||
| 28 | network, you will typically either say Y here or to "LAN Emulation | ||
| 29 | (LANE)" below. | ||

| 31 | config ATM_CLIP_NO_ICMP | ||
| 32 | bool "Do NOT send ICMP if no neighbour (EXPERIMENTAL)" | ||
| 33 | depends on ATM_CLIP | ||
| 34 | help | ||
| 35 | Normally, an "ICMP host unreachable" message is sent if a neighbour | ||
| 36 | cannot be reached because there is no VC to it in the kernel's | ||
| 37 | ATMARP table. This may cause problems when ATMARP table entries are | ||
| 38 | briefly removed during revalidation. If you say Y here, packets to | ||
| 39 | such neighbours are silently discarded instead. | ||

| 44 | help | ||
| 45 | LAN Emulation emulates services of existing LANs across an ATM | ||
| 46 | network. Besides operating as a normal ATM end station client, Linux | ||
| 47 | LANE client can also act as an proxy client bridging packets between | ||
| 48 | ELAN and Ethernet segments. You need LANE if you want to try MPOA. | ||

| 53 | help | ||
| 54 | Multi-Protocol Over ATM allows ATM edge devices such as routers, | ||
| 55 | bridges and ATM attached hosts establish direct ATM VCs across | ||
| 56 | subnetwork boundaries. These shortcut connections bypass routers | ||
| 57 | enhancing overall network performance. | ||

| 62 | help | ||
| 63 | ATM PVCs can carry ethernet PDUs according to rfc2684 (formerly 1483) | ||
| 64 | This device will act like an ethernet from the kernels point of view, | ||
| 65 | with the traffic being carried by ATM PVCs (currently 1 PVC/device). | ||
| 66 | This is sometimes used over DSL lines. If in doubt, say N. | ||

| 72 | This is an experimental mechanism for users who need to terminating a | ||
| 73 | large number of IP-only vcc's. Do not enable this unless you are sure | ||
| 74 | you know what you are doing. | ||
