[Qemu-devel] [Bug 676934] [NEW] Ability to use -net socket with unix sockets

[Tefnet Developers]

Public bug reported:

It would be a nice feature (simplifying access control for example) to
be able to do something like:

qemu -net socket,listen=unix:/tmp/qemunet
qemu -net socket,connect=unix:/tmp/qemunet

For now one has to use TCP connections even for guests running on the
same host, which involves setting up iptables to restrict access.

Aren't these at different levels of the stack? Network devices deal in
packets not connections. It sounds like you want to use something like
vsock which provides a virtual socket device to the guest.

This is just about connecting the NIC backends for 2 QEMUs together
using a UNIX socket, instead of the current TCP/UDP socket. It should be
fairly trivial to support i would expect. Though ideally we'd port the
netdev socket backend to use QIOChannel  too
