Description-en: View-OS in user space - Virtual TUN/TAP module
View-OS is a novel approach to the process/kernel interface. The semantics of
each system call can be assigned process by process giving the user the right
to decide which view of the system each process has to join. Each process can
"see" a different file system structure, networking resources, processor,
devices. Moreover some of the resources can be provided by the user
him/herself, thus these resource can be private to the single process and are
not known a priori by the system. Groups of processes can share the same view
but this is just an optimization to share management methods.
.
For more information, see http://wiki.virtualsquare.org
.
UMView is a user-mode implementation of View-OS. Processes are run with a
controlling daemon that captures all the system calls (at present using the
ptrace() system call) and uses dynamically loadable modules to change their
semantic.
.
This package contains a sub-module for umdev. umdev is contained in the main
UMView package and allows virtualization of character and block devices.
umdevtap creates a virtual TUN/TAP interface (i.e. /dev/net/tun). On the
outer side, UMView opens a connection to a VDE switch.
