.RB [ no ] udp6zerocsumtx
- skip UDP checksum calculation for transmitted packets over IPv6.
Add userspace support for the [no]localbypass vxlan netlink attribute. With localbypass on (default), the vxlan driver processes the packets destined to the local machine by itself, bypassing the userspace nework stack. With nolocalbypass the packets are always forwarded to the userspace network stack, so userspace programs, such as tcpdump have a chance to process them.
