What is VDE: Virtual Distributed Ethernet?
VDE is an Ethernet-compliant virtual network that can be spawned over a set of physical computers connected via the Internet. It is part of the Virtualsquare project, which aims to enhance network virtualization capabilities. The virtual network created by VDE can connect multiple devices, enabling flexible, software-defined networking across distributed infrastructure. This allows users to establish secure, customizable network topologies without the constraints of physical network boundaries
