No VLANs.
It creates multiple sockets, and you tell the UML(s) about the multiple
interfaces.
Please read the mentione paper.

Not practical, not reliable.
Often, not even possible if you wish to play packets that Linux simply
can not easily produce.
Secondly, I do not put these things into uml_switch.
Rather, I *refactor* things so that uml_switch and uml_netjig share
back end code. uml_switch has none of the above things, only the same
port.c code.
