Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 2/3] seg6: add SRv6 L2 tunnel device (srl2)
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 01:05:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322000557.12559-3-andrea.mayer@uniroma2.it> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260322000557.12559-1-andrea.mayer@uniroma2.it>

Introduce srl2, an Ethernet pseudowire device over SRv6. It
encapsulates L2 frames in IPv6 with a Segment Routing Header for
transmission across an SRv6 network.

The encapsulation logic reuses seg6_do_srh_encap() with
IPPROTO_ETHERNET. The transmit path uses the standard IPv6 tunnel
infrastructure (dst_cache, ip6_route_output, ip6tunnel_xmit).

The device is configured with a segment list for point-to-point
L2 encapsulation.

Usage:

  ip link add srl2-0 type srl2 segs fc00::a,fc00::b
