[Libvir] plans to support vde_switch ?
Hello everybody, I am working on a project where I found vde_switch (http://vde.sourceforge.net/) very useful. It is based on uml_switch from the UML project. Are there any plans to support it in libvirt? Thanks. Adrian

First time I hear about "virtual distributed ethernet", I don't think there is any plan about it. I'm not sure exactly how that could relate to libvirt, I would expect this to be handled by the domains running under libvirt control and not by libvirt itself, but I may be confused about this :-) Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/

We have talked about using VDE to implement various features in our virtual networks support: http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/virtual-networking.html Some of thinking in that writeup has changed - e.g. we prefer to use a kernel space bridge where we can like in example (2) - but there are still places where VDE might be useful e.g. to create an isolated bridge for an unprivileged user or to bridge networks on two different host machines. Cheers, Mark.
