"Internal Network" is not a VM/host bridge, just a piece of virtual
ethernet.

As the first mail of the thread said:

So the pongs seems to be lost between tap0 and br0 inside VM1.

BTW, VBox "NAT Network" is basically the same "Internal Network" with
an extra proxy process connected to it and that proxy happens to be
lwip-based :)

The notes I refered to in my previous mail are from the initial
prototype of it that I hacked together using unixsim with tap bridged
to VM's internal network connection, i.e. the setup that is used by
Norberto, as far as I understand.
