One last query on this, does this interface receive any packet by default of any protocol.
I think of the two virtual interfaces as real NICs with a cable between them. I am pretty sure they are protocol agnostic.
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^) Jeff Haran
