CONFIG_LAPB: LAPB Data Link Driver

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_LAPB has multiple definitions:

LAPB Data Link Driver found in net/lapb/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_LAPB:

• prompt: LAPB Data Link Driver
• type: tristate
• depends on: (none)
• defined in net/lapb/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 3.9–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.17, 6.18-rc+HEAD
• modules built: lapb, lapb

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 Documentation/networking/lapb-module.rst for technical details.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called lapb. If unsure, say N.

LAPB Data Link Driver (EXPERIMENTAL) found in net/lapb/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_LAPB:

• prompt: LAPB Data Link Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
• defined in net/lapb/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.13–2.6.39, 3.0–3.8
• modules built: lapb, lapb
