Hello Tait,

I'm learning about ethernet bridges and how it is applied to virtual
networking.  It seems that, in the past,  after you created the virtual
bridge (br0, br1 etc) you had to create the taps with tunctl and THEN
you assigned those taps to your VMs.  And now it appears that
virt-manager doesn't need these taps and you can simply point the VM to
the proper bridge.  My question is:  are the taps being used behind the
scenes (is it something libvirt does for us) or are the tap interfaces
obsolete now?

Thanks,
Jorge
