Additional running 153 UMLs can use additional Ethertap devices, one per running UML. 154 While the UML believes it's on a (multi-device, broadcast) virtual 155 Ethernet network, it's in fact communicating over a point-to-point 156 link with the host. 157 158 To use this, your host kernel must have support for Ethertap 159 devices. Also, if your host kernel is 2.4.x, it must have 160 CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV configured as Y or M. 161 162 For more information, see 163 <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html> That site 164 has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Ethertap 165 networking. 166 167 NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!!

This is commonly (but not limited to) the application 327 known as SLiRP, a program that can re-socket IP packets back onto 328 he host on which it is run. Only IP packets are supported, 329 unlike other network transports that can handle all Ethernet 330 frames. In general, slirp allows the UML the same IP connectivity 331 to the outside world that the host user is permitted, and unlike 332 other transports, SLiRP works without the need of root level 333 privileges, setuid binaries, or SLIP devices on the host. This 334 also means not every type of connection is possible, but most 335 situations can be accommodated with carefully crafted slirp 336 commands that can be passed along as part of the network device's 337 setup string. The effect of this transport on the UML is similar 338 that of a host behind a firewall that masquerades all network 339 connections passing through it (but is less secure). 340 341 NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!!
