To have your qemu machine or your vde network connected to the real net
as it were behind a NAT firewall/router.
Slirp (project by Danny Gasparowsky) runs at user level, no root access
needed. Slirp simply forwards (really re-generate) all the network connections 
as they were generated by slirp itself.

It is automagically activated on qemu if you don't configure tun-tap.
There is the utility slirpvde on vde (with a man page in the doc
subdir). (note that slirp works for IPv4, not yet IPv6).
