libvdeplug_null - network terminator plug
libvdeplug_null.so
This is a libvdeplug module implementing a networking sink/terminator.
This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.
The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
This plug does not generate any networking traffic and all the packets sent to this plug get dropped.
This command creates a switch (without the null plug the command vde_plug adds the stream stdin/stdout as a node of the switch). vde_plug null:// switch://tmp/myswitch
