There are no module parameters for this driver and it can be configured
using IProute2/ip utility.
- ip link add link <master-dev> <slave-dev> type ipvlan mode { l2 | L3 }
+ ip link add link <master-dev> <slave-dev> type ipvlan mode { l2 | l3 | l3s }
e.g. ip link add link ipvl0 eth0 type ipvlan mode l2
used before packets are queued on the outbound device. In this mode the slaves
will not receive nor can send multicast / broadcast traffic.
+4.3 L3S mode:
+ This is very similar to the L3 mode except that iptables (conn-tracking)
+works in this mode and hence it is L3-symmetric (L3s). This will have slightly less
+performance but that shouldn't matter since you are choosing this mode over plain-L3
+mode to make conn-tracking work.
5. What to choose (macvlan vs. ipvlan)?
These two devices are very similar in many regards and the specific use
