Hello Dr. Luigi Rizzo, Thank you for your quick reply! I’m glad to see veth is already in the works. While I am new to netmap, we are aiming to utilize it in several of our projects. I currently have two tasks, including: - patch veth - patch eTSEC (gianfar) controller
Since these tasks are gating our current work, we would really appreciate any insight/pointers you may have and if possible, access to a repository with preliminary veth modifications. Any assistance you can provide in jump-starting our efforts would be greatly appreciated!
