Hyper-V Sockets (hv_sock) supplies a byte-stream based communication mechanism between the host and the guest. It uses VMBus ringbuffer as the transportation layer. With hv_sock, applications between the host (Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 or newer) and the guest can talk with each other using the traditional socket APIs. More info about Hyper-V Sockets is available here: "Make your own integration services": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/user-guide/make-integration-service The patch implements the necessary support in Linux guest by introducing a new vsock transport for AF_VSOCK.

Virtual Socket Protocol is a socket protocol similar to TCP/IP
|
|
allowing communication between Virtual Machines and hypervisor
|
|
or host.

You should also select one or more hypervisor-specific transports
