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.
