-IP: optimize as router not host
-CONFIG_IP_ROUTER
-  Some Linux network drivers use a technique called copy and checksum
-  to optimize host performance. For a machine which acts as a router
-  most of the time and is forwarding most packets to another host this
-  is however a loss. If you say Y here, copy and checksum will be
-  switched off. In the future, it may make other changes which
-  optimize for router operation.
-
-  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. You can
-  do that even if you say N here.

-IP: aliasing support
-CONFIG_IP_ALIAS
-  Sometimes it is useful to give several IP addresses to a single
-  physical network interface (serial port or Ethernet card). The most
-  common case is that you want to serve different WWW or FTP documents
-  to the outside depending on which of your host names was used to
-  connect to you. This is called "multihosting" or "virtual domains"
-  or "virtual hosting services" and is explained in the
-  Virtual-Services-HOWTO, available from
-  http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto .
-
-  Another scenario would be that there are two logical networks living
-  on your local Ethernet and you want to access them both with the
-  same Ethernet card. This can also be done if you say Y here.
-
-  The configuration of these alias addresses is done with a special
-  name syntax explained in Documentation/networking/alias.txt and in
-  the IP-Alias mini-HOWTO. If you want this, say Y. Most people don't

-Ethertap network tap (EXPERIMENTAL)
+Universal TUN/TAP device driver.
+CONFIG_TUN
+  TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space programs.
+  It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet device, which
+  instead of receiving packets from a physical media, receives them from
+  user space program and instead of sending packets via physical media
+  writes them to the user space program.
+
+  When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers 
+  corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above 
+  devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and all 
+  routes corresponding to it.
+
+  Please read Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt for more information.
