Hello again, gang. I''ve been working with Xen on and off through this past semester and I''m narrowed down to a few more, final questions. First off, when a new domU is created, how/where are the dom0 vifs that bridge to that domU getting created? Secondly, I want to tweak the dom0 VIF associated with a given domU. I want the dom0 VIF to stay live and do something basic like log when packets arrive to it. Where is the code for these VIFs? Finally, I want to make sure I actually understand what''s going on in Xen network virtualization. It looks like the default behavior can be summed up as follows: - New domU is created. A VIF for it in dom0 is created. The dom0 VIF is placed in the xen-br0 bridge. - When a packet arrives on the actual physical network hardware, the packet is bridged to all the dom0 VIFs on the bridge - When a VIF associated with a domU receives a packet, it transfers the packet via the Xenbus to the hardware driver in the domU, making the packet''s arrival transparent. If I''m off-base, I really would like to be corrected. I''ve been wrestling with Xen, bridging, routing, iptables, etc for a while now and I''m really trying to get the hang of Xen''s networking. -- Rhett. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
