Hopefully the Wiki can help you out fully on this one:
http://wiki.openvz.org/Main_Page
http://wiki.openvz.org/Category:Networking
http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_Ethernet_device
http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_network_device
Looking at both pages will explain the differences. What
you're wanting is the Virtual Ethernet device..
