APPENDIX E. NETWORK CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
|
|
.sp

|
|
.PP
|
|
The network support in the kernel is self-configuring
|
|
according to the protocol support options (INET and NS) and the network
|
|
hardware discovered during autoconfiguration.
|
|
There are several changes that may be made to customize network behavior
|
|
due to local restrictions.
|
|
Within the Internet protocol routines, the following options
|
|
set in the system configuration file are supported:
|
|
.IP \fBGATEWAY\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
The machine is to be used as a gateway.
|
|
This option currently makes only minor changes.
|
|
First, the size of the network routing hash table is increased.
|
|
Secondly, machines that have only a single hardware network interface
|
|
will not forward IP packets; without this option, they will also refrain
|
|
from sending any error indication to the source of unforwardable packets.
|
|
Gateways with only a single interface are assumed to have missing
|
|
or broken interfaces, and will return ICMP unreachable errors to hosts
|
|
sending them packets to be forwarded.
|
|
.IP \fBTCP_COMPAT_42\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
This option forces the system to limit its initial TCP sequence numbers
|
|
to positive numbers.
|
|
Without this option, 4.4BSD systems may have problems with TCP connections
|
|
to 4.2BSD systems that connect but never transfer data.
|
|
The problem is a bug in the 4.2BSD TCP.
|
|
.IP \fBIPFORWARDING\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
Normally, 4.4BSD machines with multiple network interfaces
|
|
will forward IP packets received that should be resent to another host.
|
|
If the line ``options IPFORWARDING="0"'' is in the system configuration
|
|
file, IP packet forwarding will be disabled.
|
|
.IP \fBIPSENDREDIRECTS\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
When forwarding IP packets, 4.4BSD IP will note when a packet is forwarded
|
|
using the same interface on which it arrived.
|
|
When this is noted, if the source machine is on the directly-attached
|
|
network, an ICMP redirect is sent to the source host.
|
|
If the packet was forwarded using a route to a host or to a subnet,
|
|
a host redirect is sent, otherwise a network redirect is sent.
|
|
The generation of redirects may be inhibited with the configuration
|
|
option ``options IPSENDREDIRECTS="0".''
|
|
.br
|
|
.IP \fBSUBNETSARELOCAL\fP
|
|
TCP calculates a maximum segment size to use for each connection,
|
|
and sends no datagrams larger than that size.
|
|
This size will be no larger than that supported on the outgoing
|
|
interface.
|
|
Furthermore, if the destination is not on the local network,
|
|
the size will be no larger than 576 bytes.
|
|
For this test, other subnets of a directly-connected subnetted
|
|
network are considered to be local unless the line
|
|
``options SUBNETSARELOCAL="0"'' is used in the system configuration file.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The following options are supported by the Xerox NS protocols:
|
|
.IP \fBNSIP\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
This option allows NS IDP datagrams to be encapsulated in Internet IP
|
|
packets for transmission to a collaborating NSIP host.
|
|
This may be used to pass IDP packets through IP-only link layer networks.
|
|
See
|
|
.IR nsip (4P)
|
|
for details.
|
|
.IP \fBTHREEWAYSHAKE\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
The NS Sequenced Packet Protocol does not require a three-way handshake
|
|
before considering a connection to be in the established state.
|
|
(A three-way handshake consists of a connection request, an acknowledgement
|
|
of the request along with a symmetrical opening indication,
|
|
and then an acknowledgement of the reciprocal opening packet.)
|
|
This option forces a three-way handshake before data may be transmitted
|
|
on Sequenced Packet sockets.
