This address family is used in communication between virtual machines and their hosts. Advantages include that no virtual ethernet adapter and their respective address configuration and routing need to be setup. Rather, with this new link type, only a single yggdrasil interface can exist inside of the virtual machine. It can also be used inside of containers. There, the advantage over existing link types like unix sockets include, that no mount point need to be shared with the host and container. This provides more isolation.
