[PATCH] UML - Add VDE networking support

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Wed Aug 08 2007 - 11:56:22 EST


[ This is 2.6.24 material ]

Added vde network backend in uml to introduce native Virtual Distributed
Ethernet support (using libvdeplug).

[ jdike - minor cleanups ]

+ This User-Mode Linux network transport allows one or more running
+ UMLs on a single host to communicate with each other and also
+ with the rest of the world using Virtual Distributed Ethernet,
+ an improved fork of uml_switch.
+
+ You must have libvdeplug installed in order to build the vde
+ transport into UML.
+
+ To use this form of networking, you will need to run vde_switch
+ on the host.
+
+ For more information, see <http://wiki.virtualsquare.org/>
+ That site has a good overview of what VDE is and also examples
+ of the UML command line to use to enable VDE networking.
+
+ If you need UML networking with VDE,
+ say Y.
