As well as connections to a physical network interface the netmap API
also supports connections to two different types for virtual ports, VALE
switch ports and netmap pipe ports. VALE is a virtual switch implemented
in the netmap kernel module, it works as a learning bridge and is designed
to be used for connections between virtual machines. netmap pipes connect
two virtual netmap ports with a crossover connection, they can be used in
a setup where a master process works as a dispatcher towards slave
processes.
