= Kernel Configuration =

Descriptions how to configure and compile a Linux-Kernel:

 * [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile Official Guide (Ubuntu Wiki)]
 * [wiki:walkthrough Kernel Compilation Walkthrough]

== IPv6 functionality ==
To use the IPv6 functionality of the mcproxy, the Linux-Kernel has to support ''IPv6 Multicast Routing''. This is an experimental Kernel feature and must be activated explicitly. Hence, your have to configure and compile your own Linux-Kernel variante.

You have to select the following module at the configuration setup:
{{{
  Networking support --->  
    Networking options ---> 
      The IPv6 protocol ---> 
        IPv6: multicast routing (EXPERIMENTAL)
}}}

== Multiple Routing Table ==
To use more then one proxy instance for IPv4 and IPv6 the kernel has to be configured and compiled with an additional kernel feature.

You have to select the following module on the configuration setup:

IPv4:
{{{
  Networking support --->  
    Networking options ---> 
      IP: multicast policy routing
}}}


IPv6:
{{{
  Networking support --->  
    Networking options ---> 
      The IPv6 protocol ---> 
        IPv6: multicast policy routing
}}}
