Hello, I implemented a network backend for bhyve which uses libslirp to provide NAT on a virtual network. This enables some of the functionality one can get with "user" network devices in QEMU. I have a few use cases and particularly want to be able to ssh into guests without requiring any network configuration on the host. This will be handy when using bhyve to run CI jobs for FreeBSD. The patch along with a more detailed description is here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D42510 Feedback and testing would be welcome. The main issue currently is that I'd like to be able to specify the same configuration parameter ("hostfwd") more than once, but the current config scheme appears to make that difficult. If anyone's interested in having guestfwd support for some purpose, please say so.
