>The original patch for the 'socket' networking module has been written by
Mariusz Matuszek in 2003. It supported interconnecting two Bochs sessions
running on the same machine via UDP using an external program called 'bxhub'.</P

extensions:

>The 'socket' networking module uses two UDP ports per Bochs session. By default
the first session receives packets from port 40000 and sends packets to port
40001. The second session uses then the ports 40002 and 40003. For further
sessions the port numbers are incremented accordingly. The port number for
receiving packets is specified with the 'ethdev' parameter of the bochsrc
line for the network adapter. The format is <SPAN

for connecting the 'bxhub' utility. If it runs on the same machine
('localhost') the host name can be omitted.</P

>These examples show how to use the 'socket' module with the NE2000 adapter. The line
is very similar for the E1000 or PCI Pseudo NIC.
