A TCP client/server architecture provides a virtual network. In this configuration, one guest virtual machine provides the server end of the network while all other guest virtual machines are configured as clients. All network traffic is routed between the guest virtual machine clients via the guest virtual machine server. This mode is also available for unprivileged users. Note that this mode does not provide default DNS or DHCP support nor does it provide outgoing network access. To provide outgoing network access, one of the guest virtual machines should have a second NIC which is connected to one of the first four network types thus providing appropriate routing.

To create a TCP tunnel place the following XML details into the <devices> element:

      
       ...
  <devices>
    <interface type='server'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:22:c9:42'>
      <source address='192.168.0.1' port='5558'/>
    </interface>
    ...
    <interface type='client'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:8b:c9:51'>
      <source address='192.168.0.1' port='5558'/>
    </interface>
  </devices>
