Subject:   dummynet and 'virtual' network interfaces

For some work on network protocols, I would like to create a 'WAN
environment' using only one PC (don't want to setup a real network).

I was thinking about creating two 'virtual' interfaces and connecting
the two using dummynet.

The only problem is I still haven't figured out how to create those
'virtual interfaces'. So here I am looking for suggestions.

Should I use tun0/1 and run two userland ppp daemons talking to each
other? Will that work? Ethernet interfaces would be much easier, but I
couldn't find any reference to such software-only Ethernet driver.
