[PATCH] Virtual ethernet tunnel (v.2)

Pavel Emelianov xemul at openvz.org
Thu Jun 7 04:13:02 PDT 2007


Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver
that works at the link layer and looks like a pair of ethernet
devices interconnected with each other.

Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces 
but it can be used as is as well.

Eric recently sent a similar driver called etun. This 
implementation uses another interface - the RTM_NRELINK 
message introduced by Patric.

The newlink callback is organized that way to make it easy
to create the peer device in the separate namespace when we
have them in kernel.

Changes from v.1:
 * percpu statistics;
 * standard convention for nla policy names;
 * module alias added;
 * xmit function fixes noticed by Patric;
 * code cleanup.

The patch for an ip utility is also provided.

Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov <xemul at openvz.org>

Since ethtool interface was taken from Eric's patch, I think
that he would like to see his Signed-off line as well (however
he didn't answer yesterday).
