6 tristate "The TIPC Protocol (EXPERIMENTAL)"
7 depends on INET && EXPERIMENTAL
9 The Transparent Inter Process Communication (TIPC) protocol is
10 specially designed for intra cluster communication. This protocol
11 originates from Ericsson where it has been used in carrier grade
12 cluster applications for many years.
14 For more information about TIPC, see http://tipc.sourceforge.net.
16 This protocol support is also available as a module ( = code which
17 can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
18 want). The module will be called tipc. If you want to compile it
19 as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.
26 bool "Advanced TIPC configuration"
29 Saying Y here will open some advanced configuration for TIPC.
30 Most users do not need to bother; if unsure, just say N.
33 int "Maximum number of nodes in a cluster"
34 depends on TIPC_ADVANCED
38 Specifies how many nodes can be supported in a TIPC cluster.
39 Can range from 8 to 2047 nodes; default is 255.
41 Setting this to a smaller value saves some memory;
42 setting it to higher allows for more nodes.
45 int "Maximum number of ports in a node"
46 depends on TIPC_ADVANCED
50 Specifies how many ports can be supported by a node.
51 Can range from 127 to 65535 ports; default is 8191.
53 Setting this to a smaller value saves some memory,
54 setting it to higher allows for more ports.
57 int "Size of log buffer"
58 depends on TIPC_ADVANCED
62 Size (in bytes) of TIPC's internal log buffer, which records the
63 occurrence of significant events. Can range from 0 to 32768 bytes;
66 There is no need to enable the log buffer unless the node will be
67 managed remotely via TIPC.
70 bool "Enable debugging support"
73 Saying Y here enables TIPC debugging capabilities used by developers.
74 Most users do not need to bother; if unsure, just say N.
76 Enabling debugging support causes TIPC to display data about its
77 internal state when certain abnormal conditions occur. It also
78 makes it easy for developers to capture additional information of
79 interest using the dbg() or msg_dbg() macros.
