Public VDE networks currently do not provide DHCP addresses.
I can add one, but you can use any IP address you like on public vde networks.
These are just plain (virtual ditributed) Ethernet networks.
If two people connected to the same public vde network use compatible IP
addresses
they can exchange data.
A DHCP server would not be reliable as any user can add another fake one.
It is safer for communities using public vde networks to decide an IP network
number
and mask and use random host addresses.
I am investigating on how vde can be connected to ANonet. it is a good idea.
thank you
