===================
You can use the Qemu simulator to run a LibBSD based application and connect it

+Networking with TAP Interface
+-----------------------------
+
+One option for networking with Qemu is using a TAP interface (virtual
+Ethernet). You can create a TAP interface with these commands on Linux:
.. code-block:: none
- sudo tunctl -p -t qtap -u $(whoami)
+ sudo ip tuntap add qtap mode tap user $(whoami)
sudo ip link set dev qtap up
sudo ip addr add 169.254.1.1/16 dev qtap

+Virtual Distributed Ethernet (VDE)
+----------------------------------
+
+You can use a Virtual Distributed Ethernet (VDE) to create a network
+environment that does not need to run Qemu as root or needing to drop the tap's
+privileges to run Qemu.
+
+VDE creates a software switch with a default of 32 ports which means a single
+kernel tap can support 32 Qemu networking sessions.
+
+To use VDE you need to build Qemu with VDE support. The RSB can detect a VDE
+plug and enable VDE support in Qemu when building. On FreeBSD install the VDE
+support with:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ pkg install -u vde2
+
+Build Qemu with the RSB.
+
+To network create a bridge and a tap. The network is 10.10.1.0/24. On FreeBSD
+add to your ``/etc/rc.conf``:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ cloned_interfaces="bridge0 tap0"
+ autobridge_interfaces="bridge0"
+ autobridge_bridge0="re0 tap0"
+ ifconfig_re0="up"
+ ifconfig_tap0="up"
+ ifconfig_bridge0="inet 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
+ defaultrouter="10.10.1.1"
+
+Start the VDE switch as root:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ sysctl net.link.tap.user_open=1
+ sysctl net.link.tap.up_on_open=1
+ vde_switch -d -s /tmp/vde1 -M /tmp/mgmt1 -tap tap0 -m 660 --mgmtmode 660
+ chmod 660 /dev/tap0
+
+You can connect to the VDE switch's management channel using:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vdeterm /tmp/mgmt1

-add to your /etc/rc.conf:
