Hi,
I am a little unsure about the usage of KernelTun vs KernelTap.
Can someone please explain when to use KernelTun and when
to use KernelTap.
>From what I could make out from the documents, KernelTap
deals with Ethernet packets, while KernelTun deals with IP
packets, but it is still a little hazy and I wouldn't know when
to use which.
Another question: How do I respond to arp queries when using
KernelTun? For KernelTap the example says:
tap0 :: KernelTap(192.0.0.1/8)
-> fromhost_cl :: Classifier(12/0806, 12/0800);
fromhost_cl[0] -> ARPResponder(0.0.0.0/0 1:1:1:1:1:1) -> tap0;
fromhost_cl[1] -> ... // IP packets
Is there an analogous example to handle ARP queries with
KernelTun?
Thanks
Midas
