Hi!
Please can you consider to import in kvm-userspace the native vde support
from qemu (svn revision 4896) ?
This e-mail tries to explain a bit the current situation:

Thank you!

Out of curiosity, do you actually use VDE for distributed ethernet or
just as an easy way to configure networking?
I actually liked the libpcap patch as a good trade-off of
performance/easy of use. I was under the impression that VDE is
actually rather slow.

I use VDE daily even for non virtual-machine purposes like low bandwidth
vpns, ipv6 tunnel broker, network experiments (e.g.: wirefilter).

If you want an easy way to configure networking then have pcap support (or
slirp) is definitively a better choice. What VDE gives you is flexibility.
Thank you for your reply.

qemu-svn is merged regularly; there is no need to request this.
As it happens, I did a merge today, which of course includes the vde bits.
