  	  If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
  	  computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
  	  will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
  	  control about the routing process.
  
  	  The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
  	  answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
  	  questions about advanced routing.
  
  	  Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
  	  forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
  	  file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
  	  line
  
  	  echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  
  	  at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.

  	  SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
  	  about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.
  
  	  If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is
  	  likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as
  	  an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not
  	  be taken as absolute truth.

         Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
         queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
         when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
         can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.
