" 2) Receiving of UDP broadcasts is not reliable:\n"

"    resources, it only listens for a certain amount of time after the guest\n"
"    has sent UDP data on a particular port.\n\n"
" 3) Protocols such as GRE, DECnet, LAT and Clustering are unsupported:\n"
"    Protocols other than TCP and UDP are not supported.\n\n"
" 4) Forwarding host ports < 1024 impossible:\n"
"    On Unix-based hosts (e.g. Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X) it is not possible\n"
"    to bind to ports below 1024 from applications that are not run by root.\n"
"    As a result, if you try to configure such a port forwarding, the attach\n"
"    will fail.\n\n"
"These limitations normally don't affect standard network use. But the\n"
"presence of NAT has also subtle effects that may interfere with protocols\n"
