Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver

As Dave mentioned, there is already a driver known as 'veth'. Maybe borrow
the etun name as well?
I would also like some way to identify veth from other device types,
preferably
something like a value in sysfs. However, that should not hold up
consideration of
this patch, and I am willing to submit a patch after this goes in to add
the functionality
I want...

I think you need at least the option to zero out the time-stamp,
otherwise it will
not be re-calculated when received on the peer, and it potentially spent
significant
time since it was last calculated (think netem delay or similar).

+ skb->tstamp.off_sec = 0;
+ skb->tstamp.off_usec = 0;
+
+ rcv_priv = netdev_priv(rcv);
+ skb->pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;

This should be done before you do the eth_type_trans, as that pulls the
header and your
byte counters will be off.
+
+ stats->tx_bytes += length;
+ stats->tx_packets++;
+
+ stats = per_cpu_ptr(rcv_priv->stats, cpu);
+ stats->rx_bytes += length;
+ stats->rx_packets++;
+
+ netif_rx(skb);
+ return 0;
+
+outf:
+ kfree_skb(skb);
+ stats->tx_dropped++;
+ return 0;
+}
Thanks,
