Description
Hello,
It would be interesting to be able to monitor a given port without activating hub mode. (i.e. replicate all packets of a given port to another)
Best regards

Research direction
Start by locating the vde_switch implementation and reading how ports and hub mode are handled. Define the port-mirroring behavior and its configuration before changing the code; done should mean packets from one selected port are replicated to another without enabling hub mode.
