The Virtual Square networking support have to be an ethernet compliant virtual network able to interconnect virtual machines even if they are running on different hosting computers. This is the reason why the virtual networking support in Virtual Square needs to be distributed. VDE is one of the tools developed within the Virtual Square project to provide an effective communication platform for virtual machines interoperability. The main features of VDE are: * consistent behavior with real ethernet network. * It enables interconnection between virtual machines, applications and virtual connectivity tools. * Last but not least, it does not requires administrative privileges to run.

Abstract
The Virtual Square networking support have to be an ethernet compliant virtual network able to interconnect virtual machines even if they are running on different hosting computers. This is the reason why the virtual networking support in Virtual Square needs to be distributed.
