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.rst>.
|
|
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.
