These virtual interfaces (tab0 and tab1) are supposed to be created by the
hypervisor, not by you. Xen, for example, creates virtual interfaces named
vifX.Y for each VM it manages, as Justin said previously.

You are right about the "real" infrastructure. My setup is different. I'm
writing some code and testing it using openvswitch. To test my code, I've
installed everything inside the virtual machine.

I think what you need is to figure out how VirtualBox creates its virtual
interfaces. After that, everything you need is to attach these virtual
ifaces to the open vswitch br0.
