Hi Jason,
I am not very familiar with virtio-net, so I am afraid I can't give too
much effective advice. Then I have several problems:
1. If use virtio-net as a transport, guest should see a virtio-net
device instead of virtio-vsock device, right? Is vsock only as a
transport between socket and net_device? User should still use
AF_VSOCK type to create socket, right?
2. I want to know if this idea has already started, and how is
the current progress?
3. And what is stefan's idea?
Thanks,
Yiwen.
