hi, all 

I have a question regarding KVM's networking stack implementation. 

Does KVM hook into NetFilter to intercept packets destined for the guest, or PF_PACKET?

Thanks for your help, in advance

Regard, Kangkook

None of the above.

With -net user, KVM uses techniques derived from SLiRP to simulate a 
network stack with only traditional userspace UNIX socket calls. With 
-net tap, it uses the standard ethertap interface. -net socket and -net 
dump likewise do nothing unconventional.
