There is not need to copy and fill in the mac addresses, bpf_redir_neigh
will do that for us.
Going forward, we will maintain co-re and will eventually deprecate and
remove the legacy one. That will get us back to a single fib.h.
When redirecting to a workload when NAt is required, usually from HEP
because of node port, us the destination IP as the next hop in
bpf_redir_neigh() to avoid FIB lookup.
IT is a historical artefact and we should name it properly and leave the
name tunnel for a generic overlay.
We need to know that we are forwarding from and L2 overlay.
