Hi, As per the default configuration while deploying AHV, there is an underlying OVS bridge br0 that gets created VMs deployed on AHV would send data through their virtual NICs which gets attached to tap0 or tap1 etc interface on br0. 1- How do we see these tap interfaces on br0? I do not s
When Linux bridge sends Ethernet frames to a tap interface, it actually is sending the bytes to a file descriptor. Emulators like QEMU, read the bytes from this file descriptor and pass it onto the “guest operating system” inside the VM, via the virtual network port on the VM. Note: Tap interfaces are listed as part of the _ifconfig_ Linux TAP Interfaces. TAP devices, in contrast, work at the Ethernet level or layer two and therefore behave very much like a real network adaptor. Since they are running at layer two they can transport any layer three protocol and aren’t limited to point-to-point connections. Mar 26, 2010 · Tun/tap interfaces are a feature offered by Linux (and probably by other UNIX-like operating systems) that can do userspace networking, that is, allow userspace programs to see raw network traffic (at the ethernet or IP level) and do whatever they like with it. This document attempts to explain how tun/tap interfaces work under Linux, with some TAP network interfaces are designed for this. They represent virtual Ethernet devices. A TAP network interface is managed by some user process: when an Ethernet frame is sent to the network interface, the user process receives this Ethernet frame; the user process can send Ethernet frames to this network interface. This is often used for:

For all practical reasons, they are same as any other interface. the application can listen, read and write on that tun/tap interface, assign IP address, do tcpdump etc., but no underlying NIC/
