Yes I did that by putting a 3rd can sniffer node and have some interesting 
observations:

1. First I picked up the two canecho utilities from Vladislav that he modified 
from Marc's git (Thanks to both of you)
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/socketcan-core/2009-August/002871.html

2. I noticed that the write functions on both did not check for errors and 
suspected that that might be the issue of not having enough buffers on the 
queue and it was - After changing the write call to loop until successful I was 
able to get traffic moving (until later when it fails again) - the change was a 
single line on write calls (in both utilities)
while (write(s, &tx_frames[send_pos], sizeof(*tx_frames)) < 0) ;

3. On further testing I found that at times the canecho_gen node generates a 
duplicate frame (probably my driver is at fault here) and hence the utility 
fails after a few seconds. The duplicate frame was verified on the 3rd node on 
the bus (the scanner).

Any clues welcome. I will continue by debug.

Anatn
