Created attachment 627200 [details] Patch adding vde support to libvirt (against 0.10.2) This basicallay forward ports the patch origanally posted https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-January/msg00404.html A followup message to that suggested that this would be better handled by using vde to handle the network definition for user virtual machines. While I think that is also worthwhile, I think this is also beneficial. For example, a priveledged user could create a vde_switch with access to the outside world, and allow users in a given group to create virtual machines that connect to that switch. Created attachment 627212 [details]
Corresponding patch to virtinst-0.600.3
vde seems quite dead upstream these days. and given that there's been lots of work put in to making libvirt support openvswitch, there's already an alternative there. so I don't think it makes sense to explicitly track this anymore. closing |
