VDE_OVER_NS(1)		     General Commands Manual		  VDE_OVER_NS(1)

NAME
     vde_over_ns - Steganographic cable over NS protocol for Virtual Distributed
     Ethernet

SYNOPSIS
     vde_over_ns  [-D]	[-c  server_address]  [-s vde_plug] [-i ip.to.bi.nd] do-
     main.name

DESCRIPTION
     A vde_over_ns  allows  one  to  connect  two  remote  vde_switches  through
     steganographic NS query/response datagrams.  e.g.:

     dpipe vde_plug /tmp/s1 = vde_over_ns tun.mydomain.vde

     binds  to	udp  port  53  and listen for incoming steganographic NS queries
     (server mode).  All the traffic to/from stdout/stdin is redirected  to  the
     client via ns responses.

     creates  a  wire between two vde_switches (with sockets /tmp/s1 and /tmp/s2
     respectively). This cable looses 10% of the packets in each direction.

     The same vde_over_dns server can be created using:

     vde_over_ns -s /tmp/s1 tun.mydomain.vde

     The syntax is almost identical for the client mode, except that to  have  a
     vde_over_ns  client  connect  to that server, the	-c server option must be
     specified.

OPTIONS
     -s vdeplug
	    If specified, the vde_over_ns will connect to the local  vde  socket
	    vdeplug instead pf stdin/stdout, using the libvdeplug library.

     -D     Detach console and send the process to background.

     -b ip.to.bind
	    The NS server will bind only to the specified ip, instead of any ip.
	    Only valid in server mode (without -c)

     -c server_addr
	    If	specified,  client mode is enabled. Vde_over_ns will try to send
	    NS requests to server_addr. If not specified, server mode is enabled
	    by default.
