LIBVDEPLUG_VXVDE(1) General Commands Manual LIBVDEPLUG_VXVDE(1)
NAME
libvdeplug_vxvde - vdeplug module for vde_switch based networks
SYNOPSIS
libvdeplug_vxvde.so
DESCRIPTION
This is the libvdeplug module to join vxvde networks. Vxvde is a dis-
tributed implementation of virtual networks. There is no need for extra
processes like virtual switches.
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 this module is the following:
vxvde://[multicast_addr][/OPTION][/OPTION]
If multicast_addr is omitted libvdeplug_vxvde uses the default ad-
dresses: 239.0.0.1 for IPv4 and ff05:56de::1 for IPv6.
OPTIONS
v4 use IPv4
v6 use IPv6
port=PORT
define the multicast port (default value 14789)
vni=VNI
define the virtual network identifier (default value 1). (a
group name can be used as VNI, in that case the vni is the group
id).
ttl=TTL
define the time-to-live (default value 1).
grp=group_name_or_number
Set the VNI and the last three bytes of the IP address to the
group id.
hashsize=HASHSIZE
set the size of the hash table for packet switching
expiretime=EXPIRETIME
set the maximum age in seconds of valid packet switching entries
if=INTERFACE
set the (real) network interface to use.
EXAMPLES
vxvde://239.0.0.1
This vde_plug_url refers to the vxvde network defined on the multicast
address 239.0.0.1, vni=1.
Programs using
vxvde://ff15::3/port=12345/vni=42
join the same vxvde network defined by the multicast address ff15::1,
port 12345, vni is 42.
