I wish this had a way to hook up to a Hyper-V Virtual Switch. That way I could get 86box on a the network reliably, SLiRP and PCap works badly imho.

Anyone knows where the API docs for hyper-v virtual switch is?

the vm & container network space is a mess.

slirp/slirp4net is not worked on for a while. I think all the effort now goes to the worse name project in history: pasta.

ESXi has great virtual switch support, more extensible, adaptable, and scriptable than Hyper-V so far as I’ve seen.

I'd also recommend KVM/Libvirt and OpenVSwitch. Especially it combined with Netplan it becomes trivial to set up and use.

There are 3 APIs for HyperV that I know of... you are probably going to use the Host Compute Network section, for instance.

Same for the virtual VMware switches on Workstation. I'd love to have a way to connect "something" to a VM that is running in VMware Workstation.

There was once a "VMware Virtual Network SDK" or something, but I couldn't find anything that made any use of that (and now with VMware being part of Broadcom I think it's getting more and more impossible)
