IOU has no host interface of its own: the guest leg is the IOL fabric unix socket, and the kernel datapath buys the *link segment* — one persistent anchor TAP per Ethernet bay/unit, a per-link Linux bridge, kernel filters, suspend and capture. * two IOU nodes on one compute report ``kernel_datapath`` when the compute's uBridge can terminate an IOL port on a persistent TAP (``ubridge_iol_tap``); the anchors (``gi`` TAPs, one per Ethernet bay/unit) exist from node start, before any link — and the per-link bridge enslaves exactly the two of them; * real ICMP crosses the [IOL fabric ↔ TAP] port bridge; * the L2-anchor spec §E.2 silence window with the guests shut; * a ``delay 100`` filter lands as netem on both anchors, RTT grows ~200 ms; * the classifier spot check on a TAP anchor: ``bpf`` match-drop and the eBPF ``frequency_drop`` every-nth mode (the Docker suite runs the full matrix on veth host ends); * suspend admin-downs the anchor and kills the traffic; resume restores; * a serial link between the same nodes never anchors (per-port exclusion): it stays on the relay, ``kernel_datapath`` is False, and real traffic still crosses it; * link delete releases the port bridge's TAP leg and the anchor survives — re-creating the link swaps the leg back in and the traffic returns; * node stop tears the anchors down (uBridge holds their fds — the IOL bridge goes first, then ``tap delete``); a restart recreates the whole wiring from the NIO, a delay filter applied before the stop included; * deleting the project leaves no anchors and no bridges behind. ``test_iou_relay_control`` is the negative control on an isolated relay-configured instance: the same topology rides the fabric socket ↔ UDP relay (no per-link bridge, nothing enslaved) and still pings — with its filters applied by the IOU-specific engine (``iol_bridge add_packet_filter`` on the IOL port) really shaping the wire. Its capture and markers ride the same engine (``iol_bridge start_capture`` / ``iol_bridge add_packet_filter … mark``).
