A pcap plugin for vdeplug4
This libvdeplug module interconnects a client to an interface using the packet capture library (pcap). All the data that is received by this plug is injected into interface and everything captured from that interface is sent to the client.
Please notice that the pcap library captures and injects packets on the net, packets sent by the host are not captured, injected packets are not received by the host. So several clients using libvdeplug_pcap on the same interface of the same host do not communicate among them (nor they communicate with the host).
This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux, virtualbox, vdens, programs using vdestack, etc.
vdeplug_pcap uses cmake, so the standard procedure to build and install this vdeplug plugin module is the following:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make installvde_plug vde:// pcap://eth0
connects the standard vde_switch to the interface eth0.
