I can give a very simple example of something you can do trivially on vimage:

Make three virtual machines on yhour laptop:
The base machine and two others.
Have the first 'other' machine be assigned an IP address on
your HOME LAN.
have the second virtual machine have an IP adddress on
your WORK LAN.
use the base machine to run encrypted tunnels from where-ever
you happen to be to your work and home.. when you put the laptop to sleep (assuming the tcp sessions are quiescent (no keepalives))
then when you wake it up say an hour later.. as soon as the base machine has an IP address.. viola, your session on the virtual
machines are still alive.

On this post [1], Marko states:

% Each NICs is logically attached to one and only one network stack
% instance at a time, and it receives data from upper layers and feeds
% the upper layers with mbufs in exactly the same manner as it does on

% incoming traffic to the appropriate stack instance...

As I understand it, there is only one vimage per interface. I'm surely
wrong or the setup you described wouldn't be possible.

Any explanation will be welcome :).
Thanks,
I am sure you can use the bridge interface for this.
