Using Scream over LAN

Introduction

In the event your Windows Guest does not require network isolation by traversing NAT (for security purposes) using Scream over a VirtIO Bridge will yield a overall better experience to using the IVSHMEM drivers. Setup is also simpler.

Prerequisites & Dependencies

Before setup can begin there are a few requirements.

Prerequisites

• The Guest needs to have a VirtIO Network Adapter installed. This includes:
  • Creating a Bridged Network Adapter on the Host
  • Passing the Bridged Network Adapter to the Guest
  • Installing the VirtIO drivers on the Guest.

Dependencies

• We also require a few packages:
  • git
  • libpulse-dev (May already be installed.)
  • make (Will already be installed if you've setup Looking GLass)

Setup
