FWIW, we have gone off using switch daemon entirely. We are using simply preallocated tap devices, connected to bridges via normal Linux bridging controls. Works cleaner and faster, more places to dump the traffic from and it allows normal linux traffic queueing and firewalling to be used to limit transfers between machines. All physical networks and virtual network (networks not connected to any physical interfaces) are implemented as bridges. The only problem was the tap device queue hang (SIGIO problem), which was resolved with the one queue option (and hopefully fixed in UML or mainline kernel later). -- Naked ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
