NAME

       libvdeplug_vde - vdeplug module for vde_switch based networks

SYNOPSIS

       libvdeplug_vde.so

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  the  standard  vdeplug  module  for  vde_switch  based networks.  This module of
       libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-
       linux and virtualbox.  The vde_plug_url syntax of the module is the following:
              vde://path_of_the_switch[[port#_or_portgroup]]

       This  is  the default module for libvdeplug, any string not containing '://' (like a path)
       is processes by libvdeplug_vde. (e.g. /tmp/vde.ctl is equivalent to  vde:///tmp/vde.ctl).

EXAMPLES

       vde:///tmp/myswitch
       This vde_plug_url refers to the vde_switch identified by  the  directory  /tmp/vde_switch.
       Please  note  that  there  are three slashes '///' as 'vde://' is the prefix and the third
       slash is the first character of the absolute path.
       vde://thisswitch[3]
       this means the port #3 of the  switch  whose  identifier  is  thisswitch  in  the  current
       directory
       vde:///var/run/vde.ctl[privatelan]
       this   is  used  to  create  a  connetion  to  the  pertgroup  privatelan  of  the  switch
       /var/run/vde.ctl.
