Hi:

Several questions:

- Looks like we can do more than filter, so may be something like
traffic control or other is more suitable?
- What's the advantages of introducing a new type of netdev? As far as I
can see, just replace the dump function in Tomas' series with a
configurable function pointer will do the trick? (Probably with some
monitor commands). And then you won't even need to deal with vnet hder
and offload stuffs?
- I'm not sure the value of doing this especially consider host (linux)
has much more functional and powerful traffic control system.

Thanks.
