I think of the two virtual interfaces as real NICs with a cable between them. I am pretty sure they are protocol agnostic. Yes, pretty much that.
If so, how do I make sure that no packets other than one injected by me are seen on this interface. Sorry, if this sounds too stupid, but I am noob in this area.
That's what routing tables are for. 8^)
right :) Thanks a ton Jeff. With your advice and some google, I think I can settle for dummy interface which is similar to veth - only difference being it creates one interface. Commands remain the same and I have to change only veth to dummy for type in the ip command. Also I found that I can set netmask to /32, turn off multicast and arp which should get me to what I wanted.
