Additional running 156 UMLs can use additional Ethertap devices, one per running UML. 157 While the UML believes it's on a (multi-device, broadcast) virtual 158 Ethernet network, it's in fact communicating over a point-to-point 159 link with the host. 160 161 To use this, your host kernel must have support for Ethertap 162 devices. Also, if your host kernel is 2.4.x, it must have 163 CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV configured as Y or M. 164 165 For more information, see 166 <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html> That site 167 has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Ethertap 168 networking. 169 170 NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!!

However, it requires 278 at least one UML with one of the other transports to act as a 279 bridge if any of them need to be able to talk to their hosts or any 280 other IP machines. 281 282 To use this, your host kernel(s) must support IP Multicasting. 283 284 For more information, see 285 <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html> That site 286 has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Multicast 287 networking, and notes about the security of this approach. 288 289 NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!!

This is commonly (but not limited to) the application 320 known as SLiRP, a program that can re-socket IP packets back onto 321 he host on which it is run. Only IP packets are supported, 322 unlike other network transports that can handle all Ethernet 323 frames. In general, slirp allows the UML the same IP connectivity 324 to the outside world that the host user is permitted, and unlike 325 other transports, SLiRP works without the need of root level 326 privleges, setuid binaries, or SLIP devices on the host. This 327 also means not every type of connection is possible, but most 328 situations can be accommodated with carefully crafted slirp 329 commands that can be passed along as part of the network device's 330 setup string. The effect of this transport on the UML is similar 331 that of a host behind a firewall that masquerades all network 332 connections passing through it (but is less secure). 333 334 NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!!
