SUBSECTION(«Virtual Ethernet Interfaces») -

A bridge can accommodate physical devices like eth0 -as well as virtual devices. On Linux systems the common approach -to equip virtual machines with network interfaces employs the -virtual ethernet (veth) device driver. This driver provides -virtual pairs of devices where each pair represents an ethernet -tunnel. Ethernet frames received by one end appear on its pair. To -set up the network interface for a virtual machine, one end of the -pair is added to a bridge on the host system while the other end -represents the ethernet device of the virtual machine.
