From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:40:43 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Doc: Refer to ip-sysctl.txt for strict vs. loose rp_filter mode X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~15237^2~585 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d18921a0e319ab512f8186b1b1142c7b8634c779;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git Doc: Refer to ip-sysctl.txt for strict vs. loose rp_filter mode The IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER Kconfig describes the rp_filter proc option. Recent changes added a loose mode. Instead of documenting this change too places, refer to the document describing it: Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt I'm considering moving the rp_filter description away from the Kconfig file into ip-sysctl.txt.
