So what is your name suggestion?
I would have gone for _offload_ either as a prefix or suffix
somewhere.
$ git grep offload net
Wouldn't it be confusing to add this another different "offload". That's
just confusing.

I still like "switch" the best. If it passes packets around, it's a
"switch", +-. Everybody understand what's going on if you use "switch".
If you use "offload", everybody is confused...
