Does the virtual network support in Parallels 8 provide VM to VM connectivity? In all modes (shared, bridged, host only)? Do inbound packets pass thru the Mac firewall on the way in? On the way out? Is there a routing function in the virtual network support? Can I set routes in it? Does the virtual network function provide support for ipv6? How about IPSec inbound? Where is the functionality in the virtual networking support documented?
