1/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
2
3 The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
4 route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
5
6 Why? If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
7 PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
8 when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost.
9 This isn't very consistent.
10
11 One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
12 but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
13 This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do

17 [to go to slip]

21 This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
22 and the loopback driver. I then threw away anything that didn't
23 apply! Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
24 misguided packets.
