+Network devices
+---------------
+
+Record and replay for network interactions is performed with the network filter.
+Each backend must have its own instance of the replay filter as follows:
+ -netdev user,id=net1 -device rtl8139,netdev=net1
+ -object filter-replay,id=replay,netdev=net1
+
+Replay network filter is used to record and replay network packets. While
+recording the virtual machine this filter puts all packets coming from
+the outer world into the log. In replay mode packets from the log are
+injected into the network device. All interactions with network backend
+in replay mode are disabled.
