UML_NET_VECTOR now supports filters compiled with pcap outside of UML; it also supports: EoGRE, EoL2TPv3, RAW (+/- BPF), TAP and BESS. While vector drivers are not 1:1 replacements for the existing drivers, you can achieve the same topologies and the same connectivity at much higher performance (2.5 to 9 Gbit on mid-range Ryzen desktop) - the old drivers test out in the 500Mbit range on the same hardware. For all these reasons, the non-vector based transports are now unnecessary, and some, most notably pcap and vde are maintenance burdens. Thus, it makes sense to at least start thinking about removing the non-vector transports, so for now, mark them as obsolete.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
