304
- The SLiRP User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML
305
- to network by invoking a program that can handle SLIP encapsulated
306
- packets. This is commonly (but not limited to) the application
307
- known as SLiRP, a program that can re-socket IP packets back onto
308
- he host on which it is run. Only IP packets are supported,
309
- unlike other network transports that can handle all Ethernet
310
- frames. In general, slirp allows the UML the same IP connectivity
311
- to the outside world that the host user is permitted, and unlike
312
- other transports, SLiRP works without the need of root level
313
- privileges, setuid binaries, or SLIP devices on the host. This
314
- also means not every type of connection is possible, but most
315
- situations can be accommodated with carefully crafted slirp
316
- commands that can be passed along as part of the network device's
317
- setup string. The effect of this transport on the UML is similar
318
- that of a host behind a firewall that masquerades all network
319
- connections passing through it (but is less secure).
