It offers very good performance and can be configured to create virtually any type of network topology. Unfortunately, it requires configuration of that network topology in the host which tends to be different depending on the operating system you are using. Generally speaking, it also requires that you invoke QEMU as root." >From another qemu-networking related site [2] (exec strace qemu -net nic -net tap to see TUNSETIFF ioctl call): "TAP devices are obtained by opening /dev/net/tun and invoking the TUNSETIFF ioctl(). This is not usually allowed for unpriviledged users so, in general, only root can use this method.
