I dont think I was talking about tunneling at all, just QEMU migration protocol options ! If an app is tunnelling QEMU's migration protocol over some channel, that isn't important to QEMU - regardless whether a passed in 'fd:' protocol FD is a direct TCP socket, or a UNIX socket for a tunnel, QEMU works the same way. In one of my other replies I mention a way to make 'fd:' work with an arbitrary number of channels, by using an event from QEMU to request the app provide additional FDs.
