I have been wanting to see a VDE2 package for Fedora for a while now
and so I took a little time to write a spec file for it. I have used it
to build fc6 i386 (my platform) RPMS/SRPM. Not sure if the fedora-devel
list is where I should submit these but I would like to contribute these
to Fedora as I think in light of increased QEMU usage that this would be
of interest to the general community and is a good candidate for having
it included in Fedora directly.

#- VDE2
#- (ref: http://vde.sourceforge.net)
#- VDE can be used to configure QEMU Guest access to the local HOST network:
#- (ref: http://people.redhat.com/berrange/olpc/sdk/network-bridge.html)
#- (ref: http://blog.bravecobra.com/index.php/linux?p=41&more=1&page=2)
vde_switch -tap tun -daemon
ifconfig tun 192.168.193.225 # (some free subnet & ip address)
chmod 666 /tmp/vde.ctl # allow users control access
#- Use ifconfig to verify whether the TUN device has the specified IP address:
ifconfig #- TUN address acts as the GATEWAY for the QEMU Guest.
#- Set TUN gateway to forward packets to eth0 (our LAN/Internet connection)
#- To do this we use iptables:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # allow forwarding
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
vdeqemu -hda hd.img -boot c # EXAMPLE QEMU INVOCATION
#- In QEMU configure networking to use another IP in the local subnet with a
#- gateway corresponding to the TUN device IP:
#- * IP: 192.168.193.226 (some free address in our new subnet)
#- * subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
#- * gateway: 192.168.193.225 (HOST TUN device)
#- * DNS: set it the same as your host OS

%description
VDE is a virtual network that can be spawned over a set of physical computers over the Internet
VDE connects together:
(1) real GNU-linux boxes (tuntap)
(2) virtual machines: UML-User Mode Linux, qemu, bochs, MPS.
VDE can be used:
(i) to create a general purpose tunnel
(any protocol that runs over Ethernet can be put into the tunnel)
(ii) to connect a set of virtual machines to the Internet with no
need of free access of tuntap
(iii) to support mobility: a VDE can stay interconnected despite
of the change of virtual cables, i.e. the change of IP addresses
and interface in the real world
VDE2 includes:
VLAN and Fast Spanning Tree Protocol management
run time configuration interface:
(a console for interactive use, a control terminal for daemons)
wirefilter, a configurable tool able to introduce:
delays, packet loss, linut bandwidth and several other filtering features
