Synopsis

This link-layer service is provided by all Dummy devices.Dummy network interfaces can be used to provide an IP address to anyapplication/kernel TCP/IP code that needs an IP to function properly.

Also a typical use-case is to create a dummy with assinged hadware/macaddress and use it as first port in a (initially host-only) bridge touse static / avoid random mac address on the bridge as well as macaddress changes of the bridge while other ports are added and removed.

Dummy devices can be created through the org.opensuse.Network.Dummy.Factoryfactory interface.
