I am binding raw socket to a tap interface and > it doesn't work. Does it support? Is the tap device connected to a bridge as you'd normally do with qemu? That won't work because then the data you send to the socket will be queued at the /dev/tun chardev. You can probably connect it like this: qemu - vhost_net - vnet0 == /dev/tun - qemu To connect two guests. I've also used a bidirectional pipe before, to connect two tap interfaces to each other. However, if you want to connect to a bridge, the easier interface would be to use a veth pair, with one end on the bridge and the other end used for the packet socket.
