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 distributed 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 addresses:
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.
