Description

Random idea:

Create a tcpreflector daemon which listens on a port. Then, tcpreplay, instead of sending packets directly to an interface sends it to the reflector which then spits out the packet on the wire. Even better: allow tcpbridge to be able to use the reflector as well, effectively creating a VPN bridge.

Maybe use vtun(d)? Dunno.

Another idea:

tcpbridge in a server mode which listens on a TCP port on one end and a NIC on the other. Another option for tcpbridge in client mode (connects to a server). Then you could do something like this 

Network A <---> NIC <-- tcpbridge --> TCP Socket <-- tcpbridge --> Network B

Basically allows you to do a layer two bridge between two remote networks (sorta like a VPN)
