Indeed. Programs under 9vx can make outgoing connections but
can't accept incoming ones because it doesn't really create a
virtual machine -- 9vx makes the connections on behalf of the

that's wrong. 9vx can accept connections.


The original didn't. The version @ hg.pdos.csail.mit.edu
still doesn't. If you use Ron's repo you don't get the ether
device by default.

It is confusing to have different versions sharing the same
name. It would be better if this branch of 9vx is either
renamed or merged with Russ's.

program. IIRC there was some additional code to add a proper
ethernet device (via tap or pcap filtering) but I've never
played with it. This program works under p9/qemu because

devon o'dell and i did this. this gives 9vx a full networking
stack, but it generally requires running as root.

yiyus extended this functionality as part of his SoC project last year
and it's working quite nicely and cross-platform. I'm pretty sure the
code is available in both his and Ron's hg repos of 9vx.

Are there instructions on how to use this? 9vx/README (the
closest thing to a 9vx manpage) doesn't mention or describe
how to use the new options.

Original:
usage: 9vx [-gt] [-r root] [-u user]

yiyus:
usage: 9vx [-gt] [-f inifile | inifields ... ] [-i initarg] [-r localroot] [-u user]

Most people would need additional instructions on how to set
things up on their host machine to use this feature.
