From 1eccc5734148c9e4e1e4db7aaa33bccaa24c2257 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Hartkopp Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2017 12:38:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ip: add vxcan/veth to ip-link man page veth and vxcan both create a vitual tunnel between a pair of virtual network devices. This patch adds the content for the now supported vxcan netdevices and the documentation to create peer devices for vxcan and veth. Additional remove 'can' that accidently was on the list of link types which can be created by 'ip link add' as 'can' devices are real network devices.
