IBM i can Bridge which is the simplest. That's effectively the same 
thing as the SEA in VIOS.

IBM i can do Proxy ARP so the traffic for the guest goes through IBM i 
on the host. Proxy ARP is the hardest to understand!

IBM i can be a router. Here you need to set up a different IP network 
for the guest partitions and your external devices need to know that the 
host partition is acting as a router by adding routes.
