Abstract
Guest-to-host virtual networking can include linking a virtual entity proxy to a network adapter of a host machine through a virtual bridge. In response to a request that starts a guest running on the host machine, the guest can be configured to point to the virtual entity proxy and to communicatively couple to a network through the virtual entity proxy linked to the network adapter of the host machine. The virtual entity proxy can be bound to the network, such that the virtual entity proxy intermediates communications between the guest and one or more other guests running on one or more different host machines that are also communicatively coupled to the network.
