Tunnel mode you mean, i think.

IPsec is slightly different since i need to use state in the core. i.e
it is stateful. Nothing that pktgen does today has such requirements.

Thats one idea i havent thought of. 

i.e the code would look like:
-----
        if (mode == tunnel) 
                err = mytunneloutput (x, skb);
        else 
                err = x->mode->output(x, skb);
        if (err)
                goto error;
        err = x->type->output(x, skb);
--

This is what you are suggesting?
I am probably better off going back to creating a dummy dst with just
those two fields when in  tunnel mode;->

cheers,
jamal
