+TCP transport and network daemon
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

+The preferred transport is ssh, but if you cannot use this then there
+is an alternate TCP transport.  (This transport is not encrypted).
+
+On the Xen host or staging server, install NetCat (the 'nc' command,
+in Fedora and RHEL the package is also called 'nc').
+
+Choose a free port number and make sure that it is not firewalled.
+
+Then run:
+
+  nc -kl PORT > disks
+
+where PORT is replaced by the port number chosen above.
+
+After p2v has completed the 'disks' file will contain compressed
+images of one or more disks.  There is a Perl script called
+virt-p2v-unpack which can unpack the file:
