I'm looking for some technical docs about FreeBSD's network stac virt. I saw a 
paper from the wiki and little else. The paper seems to focus mostly on the 
paralielization of the network stack more than the framework for a virtualized 
network.

I want to compare it against OpenSolaris' crossbow, which has a way to virtualize almost 
anything: virtual nics, virtual switches and virtual wires, so you can build a "wan 
in a box". Is there anything like that for FreeBSD? any pointers to good docs would 
be apreciated

firstly you should probably post to [email protected]  (CC'd)




there have been various papers presented since 2003 on the topic
but they are probably all out of date.
the mechanism currently used is descripbed a bit in the 'how to virtualize a module' document.

click on the 'download' link here:
http://p4db.freebsd.org/fileViewer.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/vimage/porting_to_vimage.txt&REV=18

It describes how things are virtualized. once you have read that
come back to this list with questions.
