I don't see how. You could have a perfectly reasonable set of gretap devices that trigger this situation from simply reshuffling the IP addresses: gretap$x remote 1.1.$((x-1)).{1,2} (all those addresses set on a single veth device) Then you move those addresses to the corresponding device (1.1.${x}.{1,2} on gretap$x), and your machine crashes. -- Sabrina
