       This manual page documents briefly the uml_switch program.

       This  manual page was written for the DebianGNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not
       have a manual page.

       uml_switch is a daemon for managing a virtual network between user-mode Linux systems, with no connection
       to the host system's network.

       It will listen for connections on a pair of UNIX domain sockets,  and  forward  packets  between  clients
       which connect to them.

-unixcontrol_socketdata_socket
                 Listen on the specified pair of sockets, instead of the defaults.

       -hub      Act  like  a  hub.   This means that packets received will be broadcast over all virtual links.
                 The default is to act as a switch, where packets  are  only  sent  to  the  link  matching  the
                 destination MAC address of the packet.

       -taptapdevice
                 Connect the switch to a dynamically created tap device on the host

       -compat-v0
                 Specify control protocol version 0 compatibility.

       -daemon   Run in the background as a daemon.
