The vether(4) manual page is totally insufficient for knowing why I would use vether rather than tap; what the differences and similarities are. It doesn't even say how to get packets into or out of it as a userland program. It refers to bridge(4) which maybe / possibly suggests that vethers aren't even for traffic at all, but only for holding an address for a bridge? If that's so, it should be in vether(4)... (and why would a bridge need an address? That is Linux madness) It also refers to ifconfig(8) but that doesn't contain the word "vether" at all, so presumably one cannot even create vether interfaces (???). I am totally confused. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert <rhialto/at/falu.nl> \X/ There is no AI. There is just someone else's work. --I. Rose
