Well, i find that a qemu_switch would be more convient as you could set up the network at boot time (like i do with vde now). > Moreover you > then need to configure each host, write scripts... There is only one host. And if u don't use tuntap, then no host configuration is required (remember slirpvde?). Guests have to be configured anyways (tho slirpvde includes a dhcp server). > The integration to > the existing user net would be great for most of the cases.

Of course, a user-net based solution for qemu guest networks could do a few things that slirpvde can't (like -redir support). It is definitely worth trying for. For the most part tho, it's just duplicating functionality that we already have. > > Matt?o > -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
