Milestone
We would need to create a VM daemon (VM Switch) that runs in WSL and uses a pre-established connection (this will be an FD or a PIPE that comes from a setup process in the default namespace since network namespaces are not fully supported in
AF_VSOCK
) with the Host Switch overAF_VSOCK
. The VM Switch will run in the isolated namespace in WSL. Upon startup, it createseth0
tap device and sends out a broadcast request to acquire a DHCP address lease from the existing running gateway.This VM Switch most likely will be shared across all RD platforms so it should not have any WSL specific logic.
The POC for this work can be found here.
