The test does not follow the usual convention of forwarding tests that
are expected to be run with both veth pairs and loop backed physical
devices. See: tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding/README (and
existing tests for reference)

This approach allows us to test both the software and hardware data paths.

You can construct a test where you have multiple VRFs instead of
multiple namespaces. These VRFs emulate your hosts and routers. Send
multiple flows from one host and check the distribution across the
multiple paths connecting your two routers. Change the seed, expect a
different distribution. Go back to original seed and expect the original
distribution.
