I edited the /etc/network/interfaces and when I did a ip -a show after a reboot, nothing changed! Also, I have seen references to a .yaml file but there are no references to creating the tap. Lastly, I having only given VDE a cursory glance but what don't know is once everything is all hooked up how do you know what the ip addresses are for the individual virtual nodes? I know this kind of OT but any help would be appreciated.

I've had similar troubles.  Ubuntu V18 (or maybe V17, the last I used was V16) changed the network configuration method (again) to this YAML stuff and I haven't successfully converted my older method using the /etc/network/interfaces.  Raspian also uses it now and I've been attempting there to integrate it with VDE, TunTap and bridges.  I also haven't had a chance to put a lot of time into it.  It's on the to do list.


Supratim's scripts look interesting.  I'll have to try them out or something similar.
