Hi, I wanna know the relation between dom0 and driver domain? Is driver domain a part of dom0 or it is independence? If driver domain is independence, what is the relation between it and hypervisor?

An example: You want to use domU as a network driver domain, providing vif backends for other domUs. You''ll probably use PCI passthru to assign and dedicate a physical nic to this domU, and then you run xen netback driver and required tools in the domU to make it serve vifs for other domUs.
