Message-ID: <51235B1D.1060109@mojatatu.com> Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 05:59:41 -0500 From: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@...atatu.com> To: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...nulli.us> CC: netdev@...r.kernel.org, arnd@...db.de, ebiederm@...ssion.com, stephen@...workplumber.org, eric.dumazet@...il.com, davem@...emloft.net Subject: Re: Universal tap device I dont know what macvtap is, but what dont you like about redirecting or mirroring packets to tap? Or packet socket? I think tap has become a christmas tree lately compared to its humble beginnings, and its performance is questionable - but it should still work for what you need. cheers, jamal On 13-02-16 09:01 AM, Jiri Pirko wrote: > Hi all. > > Looking at macvtap and thinking about the tap solutions in general, I > think it would be handly to have some universal tap device. > > This could use rx_handler to hook onto any netdev and provide chardev > tap-like iface to it.
