Description-en: Virtual Distributed Ethernet
VDE is a virtual switch that can connect multiple virtual machines together,
both local and remote.
.
Components of the VDE architecture are VDE switches (virtual counterpart of
ethernet switches) and VDE cables (virtual counterpart of a crossed-cable used
to connect two switches).
.
VDE 2 includes:
- switch management both from console and from a "unix socket terminal"
- VLAN 801.1q
- FSTP (fast spanning tree)
- distributed cable manager using a blowfish encrypted channel
.
Examples of VDE uses:
- With VDE it is possible to create a virtual network of QEMU machines
running on several real computer
- VDE can be used to create tunnels (even crossing masqueraded networks)
- VDE can provide mobility support
.
The VDE also provides bi-directional pipe command (dpipe) and remote terminal
for unix sockets (unixterm).
.
The Debian package provides a nice extension for /etc/network/interfaces file
for easy set up.
