Hi,
Thank you for your answer. From what i understand two tap interface can't speak together though a bridge. so the idea is to have two veth pair between each tap and the bridge. I should get the following topology:
Tap0 == <Veth10> == <Veth00> == bridge == <Veth01> == <Veth11> == Tap1
Now i'm not sure to understand how to connect the tap device to the Veth. Can you give me a hint on that part ?
Thank you

ip link add name veth1 type veth peer name veth2
You'll get veth1 and veth2 pair that act as a "wormhole". Now add veth1
to the bridge and use veth2 with your program in the way you used tap.
If you need second pair just repeat procedure with different interface
names.
