QEMU Question:
Can you explain what is the purpose of using tun0 instead of tap0 in QEMU?
Answer:
QEMU uses a tap device only the tun0 name which is being given allows the user to connect in the networking. The kernel of the system create a tap device named as tun0 and a tap device with name tap0. It just uses the name to differentiate its own configuration but it uses tap device only for networking methods. It uses Ethernet frames for the configuration to be stored.
