libvdeplug_hub - multiplexing vdeplug module: hub

Description

       This is a libvdeplug multiplex module implementing a virtual networking hub.

       This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.

       The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
              hub://[path]
              hub://[path][[OPTION][/OPTION][/OPTION]...]

       If  path is omitted the path of the hub is /tmp/vdenode_$USERNAME (e.g. /tmp/vdenode_john if the username
       is john).

Examples

hub:///tmp/hub
       Other virtual machines, namespaces or vde_plug can join this hub using vde:///tmp/hub or simply /tmp/hubhub:///tmp/hub[mode=0666]
       It is the same hub, but everybody is allowed to connect their processes.

       Technologies").

Options

mode=MODE
              define the permissions for the hub (see chmod). MODE is an octal number.  The standard  permission
              mask is: 0600 (only processes owning to the same user can join the network).

       dirmode=DIRMODE
              define  the  permissions  for  the  hub control directory(see chmod). MODE is an octal number.  If
              omitted, is computed from mode.

       grp=GROUP
              define the group ownership of the hub.
