Hello.
I'm looking for a solution to connect a ns-3[1] simulation to virtual
machines running on two different computers.
To clarify my problem; I want to have one machine running ns-3 simulating a
MANET[2] where all the nodes in the simulation are connected to tap-devices
outside the simulation. On a different machine I want as many virtual
machines as there are nodes and hopefully be able to connect these virtual
machines to the tap-devices of the simulation. What I want to achieve with
this is that the virtual machines communicate with each other through the
ns-3 emulation creating a MANET emulation for all the programs running
inside the virtual machines. The two physical machines will be connected
over a high speed LAN.
A (very) simple drawing might make it clear how this all links together.

My question is, can this be done with Open vSwitch or with any other
facility found on a modern Linux distribution?
