Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Couple questions
Thanks for the initial response I have a couple of follow-up questions
These questions are about the relationship between the virtual machines
When a message is sent does the receiver know who the sender is?
How many channels are available?
What security options are available and how is spoofing or forging
prevented?
Thanks

>What will be the device driver locations in future versions of xen
(i.e.>version 3.0)?
In dom0, or in dedicated driver domains, as in Xen 2.0. Some more setup
code (e.g. PCI bus setup and handling) has also been moved into dom0 for
Xen 3.0 - makes it easier to stay compatible with the same hardware as
native Linux.
>What will be the communications capabilities from virtual machine to
>virtual machine and between the virtual machine and the hypervisor?
For high bandwidth transfers, shared memory communication rings and
event
channels are used for interdomain communications. For low bandwidth
messaging and setup communications, a hierarchical "registry" called
xenstore is used instead of the old style "control messages". The
console
will now use a separate shared memory page.
Xen <-> domain communication is via hypercalls, events (virtual IRQs)
and
(occasionally) shared memory.
HTH,
