[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/3] net: Get rid of 'vlan'

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/3] net: Get rid of 'vlan'

[Thomas Huth]

The 'vlan' term caused a lot of confusion and misconfigurations in the
past. The parameter has been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.9.0, so
it's now time to finally remove the parameter and use the better word "hub"
in the remaining spots that actually mean the QEMU emulated hub feature.

v4:
 - Some rewordings in qemu-doc.texi and qemu-options.hx according to
   Stefan's and Paolo's suggestions

v3:
 - Some rewordings in qemu-doc and net.json according to Paolo's suggestions

v2:
 - Added first patch to actually remove the deprecated 'vlan' parameter
   (instead of only updating the wording in the sources and docs)

Thomas Huth (3):
  net: Remove the deprecated "vlan" parameter
  net: Get rid of 'vlan' terminology and use 'hub' instead in the source
    files
  net: Get rid of 'vlan' terminology and use 'hub' instead in the doc

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 1/3] net: Remove the deprecated "vlan" parameter

[Thomas Huth]

It's been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.9.0, so that should have
been enough time for everybody to either just drop unnecessary "vlan=0"
parameters, to switch to the modern -device + -netdev syntax for connecting
guest NICs with host network backends, or to switch to the "hubport" netdev
in case hubs are really wanted instead.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 2/3] net: Get rid of 'vlan' terminology and use 'hub' instead in the source files

[Thomas Huth]

'vlan' is very confusing since it does not mean something like IEEE
802.1Q, but rather emulated hubs, so let's switch to that terminology
instead.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 3/3] net: Get rid of 'vlan' terminology and use 'hub' instead in the doc files

[Thomas Huth]

'vlan' is very confusing since it does not mean something like IEEE
802.1Q, but rather emulated hubs, so let's switch to that terminology
instead. While we're at it, move the subsection about hub a little bit
downward in the documentation (it's not as important anymore as it was
before the invention of the -netdev parameter), and extend it a little
bit.

+@subsection Hubs
+
+QEMU can simulate several hubs. A hub can be thought of as a virtual connection
+between several network devices. These devices can be for example QEMU virtual
+ethernet cards or virtual Host ethernet devices (TAP devices). You can connect
+guest NICs or host network backends to such a hub using the @option{-netdev
