[Devel] [PATCH] net: Add etun driver

Fri Apr 6 13:43:15 PDT 2007


etun is a simple two headed tunnel driver that at the link layer looks
like ethernet.  It's target audience is communicating between network
namespaces but it is general enough it has other valid uses as well.

Ben Greear implemented a similar device called redir-dev, for network
emulation.

OpenVZ has a similar device that goes by the name veth.

I didn't want to mess with ioctls or weird non-general network
interfaces for creating devices, so I used sysfs as my control
mechanism.

To create a pair of devices called veth0 and veth1:
  echo -n 'veth0,veth1' > /sys/module/etun/parameters/newif

To destroy a pair of devices:
  echo -n 'veth0' > /sys/module/etun/parameters/delif

+/* Device cheksum strategy.
+ *
+ * etun is designed to a be a pair of virutal devices
+ * connecting two network stack instances.
+ *
+ * Typically it will either be used with ethernet bridging or
+ * it will be used to route packets between the two stacks.
+ *
+ * The only checksum offloading I can do is to completely
+ * skip the checksumming step all together.
+ *
+ * When used for ethernet bridging I don't believe any
+ * checksum off loading is safe.
+ * - If my source is an external interface the checksum may be
+ *   invalid so I don't want to report I have already checked it.
+ * - If my destination is an external interface I don't want to put
+ *   a packet on the wire with someone computing the checksum.
+ *
+ * When used for routing between two stacks checksums should
+ * be as unnecessary as they are on the loopback device.
+ *
+ * So by default I am safe and disable checksumming and
+ * other advanced features like SG and TSO.
+ *
+ * However because I think these features could be useful
+ * I provide the ethtool functions to and enable/disable
+ * them at runtime.
+ *
+ * If you think you can correctly enable these go ahead.
+ * For checksums both the transmitter and the receiver must
+ * agree before the are actually disabled.
