It replaces the combination of the tun/tap and bridge drivers with a single module based on the macvlan device driver. A macvtap endpoint is a character device that largely follows the tun/tap ioctl interface and can be used directly by kvm/qemu and other hypervisors that support the tun/tap interface." >> So far as I comprehend, any hypervisors can configure MacVtap so long as it can support tun/tap interface, right? So May I say there is no so closely relationship between MacVtap and Virtio , right? > >I can't speak for the thing I'm not familiar with.
