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.
