[Xen-users] How vifX.Y and eth talk on dom0 with NAT configuration?
Hi, in the official XenNetworking ( http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking ) i didn''t find reported how the NAT configuration works with xen. Does anybody know how the vifX.Y (10.X.X.128), gateway of any domU ethX (10.X.X.1) talk with the real ethX of the dom0?

NAT on IPv4 or IPv6 is done by the Linux kernel acting as a router (not a hub or switch) between two interfaces (echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward) with iptables rules on the POSTROUTING net filter. It''s done at the IP level (OSI level 3). Thoses interfaces can be connected to Xen bridges or be physical interfaces, it does not matter, -- Sebastien Koechlin _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
