Switch to tc mirrored to get rid of macvtap #110

Closed robertvolkmann closed 1 month ago

It's essential to set the MAC address of the virtual network device equal to the corresponding lan device. Otherwise, only one of the machines can boot successfully via PXE, as already observed in PR #96.

@GrigoriyMikhalkin What is your opinion?

At the moment it's unclear if there's any benefits of using tc mirred vs macvtap.

Nice! I would assume that tc is also faster. Could you do a performance test/iperf btw. machines?

I tested performance between machines and observed no differences between macvtap and tc-redirect.
