NAME

       libvdeplug_null - network terminator plug

SYNOPSIS

       libvdeplug_null.so

DESCRIPTION

       This is a libvdeplug module implementing a networking sink/terminator.

       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 this module is the following:
              null://

       This plug does not generate any networking traffic and all the packets sent to  this  plug
       get dropped.

EXAMPLES

       This  command creates a switch (without the null plug the command vde_plug adds the stream
       stdin/stdout as a node of the switch).  vde_plug null:// switch://tmp/myswitch
