I like this idea, this idea actually came to my mind when we tried to redirect packets from eth0 to veth device in containers. I remember I already brought this up to Jamal before (either personally or publicly), but I forgot why I stopped. This would reduce some latency for our Mesos containers, we would just skip one veth TX in our scenario.
