1This directory contains the implementation of vnets:
2virtual private networks for virtual machines.

7The vnet implementation can be run using a kernel module
8or a user-space daemon. The kernel module is in vnet-module/ and the
9user-space daemon (varpd) is in vnetd/. The user-space daemon
10needs the tun/tap kernel module. Vnets use multicast to find
11virtual interfaces and support broadcast. Either implementation can
12tunnel multicast packets to other implementations if wide-area
13multicast routing is not available.
