Re: Way to mirror a NIC from a guest to present it to another guest

[Jakob Bohm]

To clarify,

In the real world, this would be two physical machines with different
NICs plugged into different ports on a managed switch, with said switch
set to mirror traffic onto the second machine (see the WireShark
website for hints on how to do so for various brands of real switches) .

So what is needed is to do the same with a virtual switch, such as the
Linux kernel "bridge" device or some version of the "VDE" user mode
virtual switch device.
