### USING THE NATIVE PORT WITH NETWORKING
If you compile RIOT for the native cpu and include the nativenet module, you need to specify a network interface like this: `./bin/default-native.elf tap0`
#### SETTING UP A TAP NETWORK
There is a shellscript in `RIOT/cpu/native` called `tapsetup.sh` which you can use to create a network of tap interfaces.
*USAGE*
To create a bridge and two (or count at your option) tap interfaces:
./tapsetup.sh create [count]
### EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
In the `projects` repository you can find some example applications. The `default` application demonstrates all available features for the current platform.
For example, you can use it to the test the native networking by running the `bin/default-native.elf` twice with two different tap interfaces as parameters, e.g. tap0 and tap1. Now configure two different addresses for both RIOT instances by typing `addr 1` and `addr 2`accordingly and send a text message from one "node" to another by typing `txtsnd 2 hello` on the first "node".
