VDEv2: Virtual Distributed Ethernet is a groundbreaking system that provides a virtual network environment for various devices to communicate as if on a real ethernet network. Developed by Renzo Davoli, this system includes components such as VDE switches and cables that simulate real networking setups. With VDE, users can create tunnels and support mobility without disrupting existing communications. Surprisingly, VDE can connect UML and MIPS machines, allowing for a wide range of network configurations. The system’s ability to maintain communication during hand-offs and support multiple concurrent VDE cables showcases its efficiency. To set up a VDE network, users can follow detailed guidelines provided by the author.
