[LARTC] exchange of pkts between devices on the same machine (crosspost)

[Amit Kucheria]

Hi,

Sorry for the crosspost, since this seems to concern all lists.

I know that when two network devices exist on the same machine, then pkts 
with dev1 as source and dev2 as destination are resolved at the IP layer, 
without sending them down to the link layer through traffic control.

What could i do, if i wanted such packets to go down to the Traffic 
control layer before coming back up? Has anybody implemented this?

I have two software devices on the same machine which want to exchange 
pkts *but* after passing the traffic control code.

TIA.
ciao,
Amit
