Hi, David

I want to identify sit interface 6to4 or 6in4 with the following parameters.

include/uapi/linux/if_tunnel.h
...
struct ip_tunnel_parm {
         char                    name[IFNAMSIZ];
         int                     link;
         __be16                  i_flags;             <---------I want 
to use this variable to identify the type of sit interface. Can I?
         __be16                  o_flags;
         __be32                  i_key;
         __be32                  o_key;
         struct iphdr            iph;
};
...

Please comment on this ? Thanks a lot.
