Doing that, we can enable basic VM 2 VM communication easily, without external projects dependencies, nor real NIC (as with vhost example). Example of cli with vhost-user: #l2fwd -c f --socket-mem=1024 \ --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=/tmp/vhost-user1,queues=1' \ --vdev 'eth_vhost1,iface=/tmp/vhost-user2,queues=1' \ -- -p3 --no-mac-updating By default, MAC addresses updating remains enabled, but maybe we could consider having it disabled by default to be consistent with l2fwd-cat for example.
