# libvdeplug\_ptp(1)

vdeplug module for point to point connections

## NAME

libvdeplug\_ptp - vdeplug module for point to point connections

## SYNOPSIS

libvdeplug\_ptp.so

## DESCRIPTION

This module interconnects two vde supporting tools by a point to point communication line. 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:

**ptp://***path\_of\_the\_socket*

## EXAMPLES

**ptp:///tmp/sock**\
 The same vde\_plug\_url can be used at both ends of the connection. The first program creates the socket **/tmp/sock**. The second program connects to **/tmp/sock**, when it discovers that the socket already exists.

## NOTICE

Virtual Distributed Ethernet is not related in any way with www.vde.com ("Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik" i.e. the German "Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies").
