TAP is a simpler method for connecting 86Box machines and other applications together without the complexity of :ref:`hardware/network:VDE`.
.. note:: TAP is only available on **Linux** hosts.
The bridge name specified in the :ref:`network settings <settings/network:Options>` represents a virtual network: all applications set to the same bridge name will be connected to the same network. 86Box will automatically create the bridge if it doesn't already exist.
