# # LAPB Data Link Drive # config LAPB tristate "LAPB Data Link Driver" ---help--- Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) is the data link layer (i.e. the lower) part of the X.25 protocol. It offers a reliable connection service to exchange data frames with one other host, and it is used to transport higher level protocols (mostly X.25 Packet Layer, the higher part of X.25, but others are possible as well). Usually, LAPB is used with specialized X.21 network cards, but Linux currently supports LAPB only over Ethernet connections. If you want to use LAPB connections over Ethernet, say Y here and to "LAPB over Ethernet driver" below. Read for technical details. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called lapb. If unsure, say N. net-next plumbingsTobias Klauser

2017-02-03net: Introduce ife encapsulation moduleYotam Gigi1-0/+1
This module is responsible for the ife encapsulation protocol encode/decode logics. That module can: - ife_encode: encode skb and reserve space for the ife meta header - ife_decode: decode skb and extract the meta header size - ife_tlv_meta_encode - encodes one tlv entry into the reserved ife header space. - ife_tlv_meta_decode - decodes one tlv entry from the packet - ife_tlv_meta_next - advance to the next tlv Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Yotam Gigi <yotamg@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: Roman Mashak <mrv@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
