I am not suggesting adding a new IFF_ flag for veth. I was referring to the
IFF_LOOPBACKflag and it should work fine for your setup.

However, i think Mike Rapaport't patch that adds a check to test for 
multicast/
broadcast routeisa better fix. Did you try that patch?
I tried it in my setup using both vxlan/DOVE configuration between VMs 
in the
same networknamespace on 2 different bridges as well as the veth 
configuration
between 2 network namespsaces.

Could you try his patch in your configuration. I think it will work and 
if so
we should go withthat patch.

Thanks
Sridhar
