why not? dpipe connects vde_switch(es) together, it doesn't interfere 
with vdeq.

To better understand how to interconnect vde_switch, vdeq and dpipe I 
attach this schema, inspired by those made by Renzo Davoli, main 
developer of VDE. In particular, connection number 3 is made when you 
launch vdeq specifying the switch to connect QEMU to. Then, you launch 
dpipe with the tho vde_plug(s) to connect two vde_switch(es). the plugs 
implement the little gray connections you see in the left part of the 
schema, while dpipe creates the connection number 4 (green). The 
connection number 2 (dark red) could be created either by slirpvde or a 
tun/tap interface.
