[Qemu-devel] [Bug 658904] [NEW] QEMU refers to VLAN, but doesn't mean 802.1Q |
Date: |
Tue, 12 Oct 2010 02:32:57 -0000 |
Public bug reported:
Throughout the (sparse) documentation and the cmd-line help text, Qemu
refers to VLAN ("virtual" LANs), which are unrelated to 802.1Q (tagged
ethernet) VLAN, which, IMHO is _very_ confusing. 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)?
