I followed the advice in readme.md by loading the dummy module and
doing

 root@test:~# ifconfig dummy0 192.168.7.80 netmask 255.255.255.0 multicast

I got

 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
 dummy0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
 SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
 dummy0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

so I used ip (without error) instead.

 ip link add dummy0 type dummy
 ip link set dummy0 up multicast on
 ip addr add 192.168.7.80/24 dev dummy0

The first command also loads the dummy module. 'ifconfig dummy0' shows

 dummy0: flags=4291<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
         inet 192.168.7.80  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 0.0.0.0
         inet6 fe80::3cd1:42ff:fe61:343c  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>

(As a matter of interest, net-tools is not installed by default on Debian).
