Hi, I have a router with seven interfaces, that does a lot of shaping. And we are having problems with packet loss. So we want do move over to xen3. But xen3 only supports 3 nics. I know that it is very difficult to increase the number of nics. Is there a chance that it will be possible to have more than three nics in a domU in the future? Driver domains could be a solution - but I''d prefer bridges/nics.

This caught my attention... does xen3 really only support 3 nics? Are you talking about 3 physical network adapters, or 3 virtual network adapters?

It is supposed to support 8 physical nics in dom0. (I say "supposed" just because I don''t know anyone that really tested it) You can even increase the number of physical nics by increasing the "nloopbacks" in "drivers/xen/netback/loopback.c". -- Murillo Fernandes Bernardes _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
