I believe that in dom0 there''s a different network device for each virtual network interface (vif). You could try pointing tcpdump or wireshark at that vif, or at the xen bridge, and seeing what you get. -George _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I know you mean well, but I think it''s a mistake to answer these kind
of badly-misdirected user questions on xen-devel.
Other users with user questions will see this in the list archives and
ask their question here too. But the purpose of this list is for us
to engage in the development of Xen, and user questions (and the
threads they cause) are a distraction from that.
Thanks,
Ian.
