Again, bhyve itself isn't intended to be a giant umbrella but FreeBSD =
does support many networking features which could support network =
virtualization (and which work fine with bhyve).

VALE is built-in to FreeBSD, and with the new netmap back-end for bhyve, =
serves as a good =E2=80=98base=E2=80=99 for a vswitch.
