Beyond that, it's also unnecessary, as the network in question isn't "virtual", only the devices used to implement it are. + +To avoid further frustration and confusion, can the term VLAN, _please_ be removed from source and documentation and replaced with something more suitable? Perhaps vNIC (seems like VMware is using that term for a similiar concept)? + +This issue has finally been addressed here: +https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=af1a5c3eb41521b4f090ad61 + |
