slirpvde - Virtual Distributed Ethernet-Slirp interface

slirpvde [ -sock socketpath ] [ -network netaddr ] [ -dhcp ]
slirpvde [ -s socketpath ] [ -n netaddr ] [ -d ]

slirpvde is a slirp interface for a VDE network.

-sock is used to specify the VDE switch (default /tmp/vde.ctl)

-dhcp turns on the dhcp server for the network autoconfiguration of all the units connected to the VDE.

-netaddr is used to specify the network address (default 10.0.2.0).

Slirpvde connects all the units (virtual or real machines) to the network of the network where slirpvde runs as it were a NAT/Masquerading router. The default route is the node 2 (10.0.2.2 in the default network configuration) and DNS is re-mapped in node 3 (10.0.2.3).

Slirpvde runs using standard user privileges (no need for root access): all the connections are re-generated by slirpvde itself.

IPv4 only. IPv6 is still unsupported.

vde_switch(1), vde_plug(1), dpipe(1).

VDE is a project by Renzo Davoli <renzo@cs.unibo.it>. Slirp code is by Danny Gasparovsky. Bootp/DHCP code is by Fabrice Bellard.
