Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver
that works at the link layer and looks like a pair of ethernet
devices interconnected with each other.
Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces but
it can be used as is as well.
Eric recently sent a similar driver called etun. This
implementation is closer to the OpenVZ one and it lacks
some unimportant features of etun driver (like ethtool_ops)
for simplicity.
The general difference from etun is that a netlink interface
is used to create and destroy the pairs. The patch for an
ip utility is also provided.
if etun and veth are similar, why didn't you put the netlink interface
to the etun driver instead of sending a new driver ?
