I am creating a virtual network with a bunch of qemu guests all using the qemu socket network interface and it works wonderfully. However I have a need to connect a physical device into my virtual network and I am curious if there is any reasonable way to get a virtual network adapter on the physical device (running linux) that can connect / listen for qemu socket type networking connections.
One alternative might be to use bridge-utils to create a bridge on your host, then run your guests with tap interfaces, add them to the bridge, add a real ethernet nic to the bridge...
Basically if something exists my assumption is it would be a virtual network adapter that has configuration allowing it to set a listen port/connect ip/port. However I dont know if such a thing exists.
But if you're stuck using the socket interface, have a look at the way GNS3/dynamips works. It connects all the Qemu guests and virtual routers together using udp sockets. You can connect your guests to physical interfaces using a GNS3 virtual switch.
