Networking multiple guests

2022-06-02 Thread Anders Pitman
I'm trying to set up one guest as a SMB file server, and connect to it from several other guests. I tried using -device socket listen/connect, but it appears that only one client can connect at a time to each listener. I don't want to use mcast for security reasons, ie the other guests shouldn't

Fast usermode networking with QEMU

2022-05-23 Thread Anders Pitman
I came across this blog post[0] concerning passt, which is an alternative usermode networking implementation for QEMU. I'm working on a project that uses QEMU on Windows hosts running Linux guests. I'm trying to get faster usermode networking than is available with libslirp. My performance targ

Future of libslirp in QEMU

2022-04-20 Thread Anders Pitman
I noticed in the 7.0 changelog that libslirp might be removed as a submodule in the future. Since user networking is very important for my project, I'm wondering if this is simply an implementation detail, or if there are plans to eventually remove slirp support entirely from QEMU (which would b
