+/* The current default use case for the vsock channel is the following:

+ * This way can explicitly distinguish between vsock channels created for
+ * different use cases, such as nested VMs (or local communication between
+ * guest and host) and sibling VMs.

+ * The flag can be set in the connect logic in the user space application flow.
+ * In the listen logic (from kernel space) the flag is set on the remote peer
+ * address. This happens for an incoming connection when it is routed from the
+ * host and comes from the guest (local CID and remote CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST).
