[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Support for UDP unicast network backend

[Benjamin]

Follow-up of: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg81235.html

This enables connections between Qemu, Dynamips and VirtualBox guests.

Test it with:

qemu-system-i386 -netdev 
socket,id=gns3,udp=127.0.0.1:4243,localport=127.0.0.1:4242 -device 
e1000,netdev=gns3 /path/to/hard/drive/img1

qemu-system-i386 -netdev 
socket,id=gns3,udp=127.0.0.1:4242,localport=127.0.0.1:4243 -device 
e1000,netdev=gns3 /path/to/hard/drive/img2

You should be able to set up a network between these two hosts.

Any thoughts?

I noticed an interesting behavior of Qemu and I'd like to investigate.
When an IP address is assigned to an interface it sends a who-has ARP
request with its own address. Which is not what happens on my OS. What
would be the correct and standard behavior?
