How to establish a TCP session to a virtual device?

To establish a TCP session to a virtual device, port forwarding with ADB must be set up.

The command is:

adb forward tcp:<host port> tcp:<virtual device port>

ADB forwards packets to the virtual device.

Direct contact with the virtual device is not necessary.

Port forwarding must be established each time the virtual device starts.
