uvlan Description

uvlan is a project consisting of a User-space Virtual Local Area Network. uvlan is a project consisting of a User-space Virtual Local Area Network.In other words, uvlan peers act as nodes on a network switch. Ethernet traffic is routed between peers intelligently. This allows for multiple networks to share resources and even IP address space. Some may call it a VPN (Virtual Private Network) application, but it's much more powerful: it is peer-to-peer, is much simpler, and operates at layer 2 (ethernet). VPNs generally operate at layer-3 (IP), and layer 2 applications like gaming can't be supported with layer 3 tunneling.Differences with traditional VPN technology:· It is peer-to-peer· It doesn't require licensing· It is much simpler· It operates at Layer-2 (Ethernet), VPNs generally operate at Layer-3 (IP) Layer-2 applications like gaming can't be supported with Layer-3 tunneling. Requirements:· libpcapLinux/Unix Installation1. Install libpcapRedhat: yum install libpcapDebian: apt-get install libpcapGentoo: emerge libpcap2. Extract the binary distribution ZIP to where ever.3. Run the uvlan -G to generate your key files.4. Run uvlan, making note of the ethernet device listed in the output.It will look something like: eth05.
