From 4ff4d8d342fe25c4d1106fb0ffdd310a43d0ace0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nolan Leake Date: Tue, 24 May 2011 17:13:02 -0700 Subject: um: add ucast ethernet transport The ucast transport is similar to the mcast transport (and, in fact, shares most of its code), only it uses UDP unicast to move packets. Obviously this is only useful for point-to-point connections between virtual ethernet devices.
