vlan option is misleading, what about vnet ?

2008-12-04 Thread Luca Bigliardi

Hi qemu/kvm devels!

I think vlan network option is misleading because it's about a virtual
network and not 802.1Q .

I'd like to rename it vnet (or something similar.. any ideas?) and then
mark vlan option deprecated somehow.

Is it ok for you?


Thank you,

luca

Me too.

Maybe the manual should come with a warning for people that want to run 
multiple QEMUs with taps and a bridge on the host.


I had this setup:
br0 (public ip) -> qemu0 to qemu9

br1 (private ip) -> qemu10 to qemu20

I have one of each on each virtual machine and it get into a nice loop 
because qemu didn't separate traffic properly without the vlan option.
