149 help
150 The Ethertap User-Mode Linux network transport allows a single
151 running UML to exchange packets with its host over one of the
152 host's Ethertap devices, such as /dev/tap0. 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.

178 work with a 2.4 host, unless you've applied the TUN/TAP patch to
179 your 2.2 host kernel.

194 network with its host over a point-to-point link. Unlike Ethertap,
195 which can carry any Ethernet frame (and hence even non-IP packets),
196 the slip transport can only carry IP packets.

285 bridge if any of them need to be able to talk to their hosts or any
286 other IP machines.

324 The SLiRP User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML
325 to network by invoking a program that can handle SLIP encapsulated
326 packets. 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).
