# Explanations

* ***vwifi-client*** should be started on the VMs, and ***vwifi-server*** on the Host
* ***vwifi-client*** and ***vwifi-server*** can communicate either with the VHOST protocol (by default), or with the TCP protocol
* ***vwifi-client*** should be started on the VMs, and ***vwifi-server*** on the Host.
* ***vwifi-client*** and ***vwifi-server*** can communicate either with the VHOST protocol (by default), or with the TCP protocol.
* With the option "-s" (or "--spy"), ***vwifi-client*** :
* receives always all communications, even if the loss of packets is enable.
* works only with TCP.
* connects to 127.0.0.1, by default
* ***vwifi-client*** uses the `mac80211_hwsim` kernel module to have the wifi interfaces
* To use TCP protocol, ***vwifi-server*** and ***vwifi-client*** must be connected to a different IP network than that of the wifi
* ***vwifi-add-interfaces*** is used to create the wlan interfaces to the module `mac80211_hwsim`. ***vwifi-client*** controls only these interfaces
* ***vwifi-ctrl*** is used to interact with ***vwifi-server***

* You can change the defaults IP and ports with parameters (see the parameter "-h" to help)
