+VDE vector transport
+--------------------
+
+Virtual Distributed Ethernet (VDE) is a project whose main goal is to provide a
+highly flexible support for virtual networking.
+
+http://wiki.virtualsquare.org/#/tutorials/vdebasics
+
+Common usages of VDE include fast prototyping and teaching.
+
+Examples:
+
+   ``vecX:transport=vde,vnl=tap://tap0``
+
+use tap0
+
+   ``vecX:transport=vde,vnl=slirp://``
+
+use slirp
+
+   ``vec0:transport=vde,vnl=vde:///tmp/switch``
+
+connect to a vde switch
+
+   ``vecX:transport=\"vde,vnl=cmd://ssh remote.host //tmp/sshlirp\"``
+
+connect to a remote slirp (instant VPN: convert ssh to VPN, it uses sshlirp)
+https://github.com/virtualsquare/sshlirp
+
+   ``vec0:transport=vde,vnl=vxvde://234.0.0.1``
+
+connect to a local area cloud (all the UML nodes using the same
+multicast address running on hosts in the same multicast domain (LAN)
+will be automagically connected together to a virtual LAN.
