Empty, or non-existent?

Isn't this a class-D address, reserved for multicast?

I've seen SIMPLEX. I think that means the interface is not in promiscuous
mode, but unsure. The link#1 may be due to your choice of multicast address.
Again unsure.

tun0 is a "tunnel device" used somehow for tunneling network protocols through
other protocols. If someone can point me to the source code, I can look
at eon0.
