Hi, Thank you for your answer. From what i understand two tap interface can't speak together though a bridge. so the idea is to have two veth pair between each tap and the bridge. I should get the following topology:
Tap0 == <Veth10> == <Veth00> == bridge == <Veth01> == <Veth11> == Tap1 Now i'm not sure to understand how to connect the tap device to the Veth. Can you give me a hint on that part ?
