NAME

       vde_pcapplug - Virtual Distributed Ethernet libpcap cable

SYNOPSIS

       vde_pcapplug [OPTION]... interface

DESCRIPTION

       vde_pcapplug  is  a plug to be connected into a VDE switch.  All the data that is catched by the plug is injected into interface and every-
       thing from that interface is sent in the switch.

OPTIONS

       -p, --port=portnum
	      It is possible to decide which port of the switch to use.  When this option is not specified the switch assigns the first  available
	      unused  port  (if  any).	It is possible to connect several cables in the same switch port: in this way all this cables work concur-
	      rently.  It means that packet can result as duplicate but no ARP table loops are generated.  Is useful when vde is used  for  mobil-
	      ity. Several physical interfaces can be used at a time during handoffs to prevent hichups in connectivity.

       -g, --group=group
	      group  ownership	of the communication socket. For security when more want to share a switch it is better to use a unix group to own
	      the comm sockets so that the network traffic cannot be sniffed.

       -m, --mod=octal-mode
	      octal chmod like permissions for the comm sockets

       -s, --sock=socket
	      specify the UNIX socket to be used by local programs for joining the VDE.  The default value is "/tmp/vde.ctl".

       -d, --daemon
	      start vde_plug2tap as a background process

       -P, --pidfile=pidfile
	      put the process ID of vde_plug2tap in pidfile. Can be used with --daemon to store the PID for future killing.

       -h, --help
	      show a brief help

NAME

       vde_over_ns - Steganographic cable over NS protocol for Virtual Distributed Ethernet

SYNOPSIS

       vde_over_ns [-D] [-c server_address] [-s vde_plug] [-i ip.to.bi.nd] domain.name

DESCRIPTION

       A vde_over_ns allows to connect two remote vde_switches through steganographic NS query/response datagrams.  e.g.:

       dpipe vde_plug /tmp/s1 = vde_over_ns tun.mydomain.vde

       binds  to  udp port 53 and listen for incoming steganographic NS queries (server mode).	All the traffic to/from stdout/stdin is redirected
       to the client via ns responses.

       creates a wire between two vde_switches (with sockets /tmp/s1 and /tmp/s2 respectively). This cable looses  10%	of  the  packets  in  each
       direction.

       The same vde_over_dns server can be created using:

       vde_over_ns -s /tmp/s1 tun.mydomain.vde

       The  syntax is almost identical for the client mode, except that to have a vde_over_ns client connect to that server, the  -c server option
       must be specified.

OPTIONS

       -s vdeplug
	      If specified, the vde_over_ns will connect to the local vde socket vdeplug instead pf stdin/stdout, using the libvdeplug library.

       -D     Detach console and send the process to background.

       -b ip.to.bind
	      The NS server will bind only to the specified ip, instead of any ip.  Only valid in server mode (without -c)

       -c server_addr
	      If specified, client mode is enabled. Vde_over_ns will try to send NS requests to server_addr. If  not  specified,  server  mode	is
	      enabled by default.
