Thanks a ton Jeff. With your advice and some google, I think I can settle for
dummy interface which is similar to veth - only difference being it creates one
interface. Commands remain the same and I have to change only veth to dummy
for type in the ip command.

Also I found that I can set netmask to /32, turn off multicast and arp which
should get me to what I wanted. Thanks again.
