Description

An example of using a VDE2 plug in the man page would help. The referenced URL does not really describe what the local_sock should be. By trial and error, it appears the control_sock is the same as the location passed to --mgmt switch in the vde_switch setup command line. What should be the local_sock?

vde:<control_sock>:<local_sock>
For use with UML (User‐Mode‐Linux) or VDE switches. VDE stands for "Virtual
Distributed Ethernet". Please refer to :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vde/

Research direction

Start with the netio_type man-page entry and the linked VDE project reference, then investigate the VDE2 plug setup and the --mgmt switch context described in the issue. Done means the man page includes a concrete VDE2 example and clearly explains both control_sock and local_sock.
