As far as the kernel is concerned these are real devices..
But it I am not mistaken you can filter out teql devices by the fact that they do not have a MAC layer (type ARPHRD_VOID, flags IFF_NOARP).
But there is virtual interfaces such as VLAN interfaces where this is not true.
It can also be argued what is the interface when you have bonded interfaces together using a eql/teql device.
