 eth-multiplexer is responsible to create the virtual network device and dispatch the packet to the right clients that connect to the virtual device. It also connects the virtual network and the external network.

 The environment variable of SOCK_SERV_DIR is used to override all socket servers and SOCK_SERV_%d to override a specific socket server. %d after SOCK_SERV_ is the domain of the protocol that the socket server supports. The environment variable SOCK_SERV_%d has the higher priority than SOCK_SERV_DIR.
