[ANNOUNCE] OASIS VIRTIO Committee Specification Public Review Draft is about to release
Hi, OASIS VIRTIO Committee Specification Public Review Draft is about to release. There are some major changes (e.g. new balloon device) but main ideas are not substantially changed in comparison to original VIRTIO document (http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/virtio-spec/virtio-0.9.5.pdf). I raised Xen community concerns in regards to VRITIO security in Xen environment. However, committee decided to release a draft and prepare reference implementations which will show all weaknesses and strengths of VRITIO. Now we are going to prepare relevant implementations. Later all results from tests will be used to release improved next draft. Information about VIRTIO draft release should be sent to Xen-devel directly from OASIS shortly. If you have any comments you could send them to virtio-comment@lists.oasis-open.org or directly to me. Daniel
