As-is, one Linux network device named rtproxy will be created when
loading rtnetproxy.ko. All in-coming non-real-time IP packets (TCP or
UDP) from any RTnet interface will be forwarded to rtproxy. Out-going
packets will be routed according to the RTnet routing table:

http://www.rts.uni-hannover.de/rtnet/lxr/source/addons/rtnetproxy.c#211

If using the "[PATCH/RFC 2/5] RTnet-Proxy: ARP support", the rtproxy
Linux device gets attached directly to the RTnet device specified via
module parameter "rtdev_attach".

Well, I'm just using one network device and did not think yet further.
But it might make sense to have more than one rtproxy Linux network
device and attach them to the corresponding RTnet device.

What is your setup/requirement.

Wolfgang.
