[Qemu-devel] [Bug 676934] [NEW] Ability to use -net socket with unix sockets

[Tefnet Developers]

Public bug reported:

It would be a nice feature (simplifying access control for example) to
be able to do something like:

qemu -net socket,listen=unix:/tmp/qemunet
qemu -net socket,connect=unix:/tmp/qemunet

For now one has to use TCP connections even for guests running on the
same host, which involves setting up iptables to restrict access.
