VDE Swtich- Packets Duplicate?
I was thinking about doing a VDE switch with KVM and guests. I read that packets are duplicated from the eth0 to the switch. Is this correct?
Packets

Eth0
|
|------------------------|
^---Packets Duplicate----^
|..................................|
Host .........................VDE Switch
And if so, does this mean:
1) The packet load is doubled because they are duplicated?
2) Packets that get duplicated to the switch do not go through iptables?
3) The Host is going to recieve all the packets that are getting duplicated to the switch?
4) Will out going packets from the VM Guests appear to originate from the Host instead of the Guests(just like KVM's defualt Slirp network)?
