title: KVM Virtualization 10gbe virtual ethernet
body: <p>I am planning on using <strong>KVM</strong> in order to virtualize some GNU/Linux and Windows machines at home.
  My physical network is 1gbe using Link Aggregation at some stages. In the worst case, it's still 1gbe though.</p>
  
  <p><strong>I am wondering if it is possible to "emulate" 10gbe ethernet</strong> (or anything faster than 1gbe) between two virtual machines on the same host (or one VM and the host itself) by avoiding the physical network altogether. I think for this to work they'll need to be in the same network, connected to the same virtual switch and VLAN.</p>
