Virtual network switch

Under Construction

This part of the website is being worked on. Parts in this section might be missing or incomplete at this moment.

The virtual network switch connects multiple clients with a virtual network connection. It uses Virtio as the transport mechanism. Each virtual switch port implements the host-side of a Virtio network device (virtio-net).

The virtual network switch can be setup to feature exactly one monitor port. All traffic passing through the switch is mirrored to the monitor port. The monitor port is read-only, and has no TX capability. An optional packet filter can be configured and implemented to filter data sent to the monitor port.
