    ipvlan: implement VEPA mode · fe89aa6b
    Mahesh Bandewar authored
    This is very similar to the Macvlan VEPA mode, however, there is some
    difference. IPvlan uses the mac-address of the lower device, so the VEPA
    mode has implications of ICMP-redirects for packets destined for its
    immediate neighbors sharing same master since the packets will have same
    source and dest mac. The external switch/router will send redirect msg.
    
    Having said that, this will be useful tool in terms of debugging
    since IPvlan will not switch packets within its slaves and rely completely
    on the external entity as intended in 802.1Qbg.
