linux-4.19: Add IPVLAN and IPVTAP links
Having the link types ipvtap and ipvlan available may give us some more flexibility with possible VM configurations. CONFIG_IPVLAN ============= This allows one to create virtual devices off of a main interface and packets will be delivered based on the dest L3 (IPv6/IPv4 addr) on packets. All interfaces (including the main interface) share L2 making it transparent to the connected L2 switch. Ipvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-3.19 release: "ip link add link <main-dev> [ NAME ] type ipvlan" To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ipvlan. CONFIG_IPVTAP │ ============= This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based on the IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device can be added in the same way as a ipvlan device, using 'type ipvtap', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ipvtap.
