NAME

       libvdeplug_pcap - vdeplug module for vde_switch based networks

SYNOPSIS

       libvdeplug_pcap.so

DESCRIPTION

       This  libvdeplug  module  interconnects  a client to an interface using the packet capture
       library (pcap): all the data that is received by this plug is injected into interface  and
       everything captured from that interface is sent to the client.

       Please  notice that the pcap library captures and injects packets on the net, packets sent
       by the host are not captured, injected packets are not received by the  host.  So  several
       clients  using  libvdeplug_pcap  on the same interface of the same host do not communicate
       among them (nor they communicate with the host).

       This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, vdens,
       kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.

       The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
              pcap://interface_name

EXAMPLE

       vde_plug vde:// pcap://eth0

       connects the standard vde_switch to the interface eth0.
