[Qemu-devel] [Bug 676934] Re: Ability to use -net socket with unix sockets

[Alex Bennée]

Aren't these at different levels of the stack? Network devices deal in
packets not connections. It sounds like you want to use something like
vsock which provides a virtual socket device to the guest.

Title:
  Ability to use -net socket with unix sockets

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  It would be a nice feature (simplifying access control for example) to
  be able to do something like:

  qemu -net socket,listen=unix:/tmp/qemunet
  qemu -net socket,connect=unix:/tmp/qemunet

  For now one has to use TCP connections even for guests running on the
  same host, which involves setting up iptables to restrict access.
