133- provide one or more virtual network devices through which the UML
134- kernels can talk to each other, the host, and with the host's help,

150- The Ethertap User-Mode Linux network transport allows a single
151- running UML to exchange packets with its host over one of the
152- host's Ethertap devices, such as /dev/tap0. Additional running
153- UMLs can use additional Ethertap devices, one per running UML.
154- While the UML believes it's on a (multi-device, broadcast) virtual
155- Ethernet network, it's in fact communicating over a point-to-point
156- link with the host.

158- To use this, your host kernel must have support for Ethertap
159- devices. Also, if your host kernel is 2.4.x, it must have

303- help
304- The SLiRP User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML
305- to network by invoking a program that can handle SLIP encapsulated
306- packets. This is commonly (but not limited to) the application
307- known as SLiRP, a program that can re-socket IP packets back onto
308- he host on which it is run. Only IP packets are supported,
309- unlike other network transports that can handle all Ethernet
310- frames. In general, slirp allows the UML the same IP connectivity
311- to the outside world that the host user is permitted, and unlike
312- other transports, SLiRP works without the need of root level
313- privileges, setuid binaries, or SLIP devices on the host. This
314- also means not every type of connection is possible, but most
315- situations can be accommodated with carefully crafted slirp
316- commands that can be passed along as part of the network device's
317- setup string. The effect of this transport on the UML is similar
318- that of a host behind a firewall that masquerades all network
319- connections passing through it (but is less secure).
