-# XL Network Configuration
-
-## Syntax Overview
-
-This document specifies the xl config file format vif configuration
-option.  It has the following form:
-
-        vif = [ '<vifspec>', '<vifspec>', ... ]
-
-where each vifspec is in this form:
-    
-        [<key>=<value>|<flag>,]
-
-For example:
-
-        'mac=00:16:3E:74:3d:76,model=rtl8139,bridge=xenbr0'
-        'mac=00:16:3E:74:34:32'
-        '' # The empty string
-
-These might be specified in the domain config file like this:
-
-        vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:74:34:32', 'mac=00:16:3e:5f:48:e4,bridge=xenbr1' 
]
-
-More formally, the string is a series of comma-separated keyword/value
-pairs. All keywords are optional.
-
-Each device has a `DEVID` which is its index within the vif list, starting 
from 0.
-
-## Keywords
-
-### mac
-
-If specified then this option specifies the MAC address inside the
-guest of this VIF device. The value is a 48-bit number represented as
-six groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated by colons (:).
-
-The default if this keyword is not specified is to be automatically
-generate a MAC address inside the space assigned to Xen's
-[Organizationally Unique Identifier][oui] (00:16:3e).
-
-If you are choosing a MAC address then it is strongly recommend to
-follow one of the following strategies:
-
-  * Generate a random sequence of 6 byte, set the locally administered
-    bit (bit 2 of the first byte) and clear the multicast bit (bit 1
-    of the first byte). In other words the first byte should have the
-    bit pattern xxxxxx10 (where x is a randomly generated bit) and the
-    remaining 5 bytes are randomly generated See
-    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address] for more details the
-    structure of a MAC address.
-  * Allocate an address from within the space defined by your
-    organization's OUI (if you have one) following your organization's
-    procedures for doing so.
-  * Allocate an address from within the space defined by Xen's OUI
-    (00:16:3e). Taking care not to clash with other users of the
-    physical network segment where this VIF will reside.
-
-If you have an OUI for your own use then that is the preferred
-strategy. Otherwise in general you should prefer to generate a random
-MAC and set the locally administered bit since this allows for more
-bits of randomness than using the Xen OUI.
-
-### bridge
-
-Specifies the name of the network bridge which this VIF should be
-added to. The default is `xenbr0`. The bridge must be configured using
-your distribution's network configuration tools. See the [wiki][net]
-for guidance and examples.
-
-### gatewaydev
-
-Specifies the name of the network interface which has an IP and which
-is in the network the VIF should communicate with. This is used in the host
-by the vif-route hotplug script. See [wiki][vifroute] for guidance and
-examples.
-
-NOTE: netdev is a deprecated alias of this option.
-
-### type
-
-This keyword is valid for HVM guests only.
-
-Specifies the type of device to valid values are:
-
-  * `ioemu` (default) -- this device will be provided as an emulate
-    device to the guest and also as a paravirtualised device which the
-    guest may choose to use instead if it has suitable drivers
-    available.
-  * `vif` -- this device will be provided as a paravirtualised device
-    only.
-
-### model
-
-This keyword is valid for HVM guest devices with `type=ioemu` only.
-
-Specifies the type device to emulated for this guest. Valid values
-are:
-
-  * `rtl8139` (default) -- Realtek RTL8139
-  * `e1000` -- Intel E1000 
-  * in principle any device supported by your device model
-
-### vifname
-
-Specifies the backend device name for the virtual device.
-
-If the domain is an HVM domain then the associated emulated (tap)
-device will have a "-emu" suffice added.
-
-The default name for the virtual device is `vifDOMID.DEVID` where
-`DOMID` is the guest domain ID and `DEVID` is the device
-number. Likewise the default tap name is `vifDOMID.DEVID-emu`.
-
-### script
-
-Specifies the hotplug script to run to configure this device (e.g. to
-add it to the relevant bridge). Defaults to
-`XEN_SCRIPT_DIR/vif-bridge` but can be set to any script. Some example
-scripts are installed in `XEN_SCRIPT_DIR`.
-
-### ip
-
-Specifies the IP address for the device, the default is not to
-specify an IP address.
-
-What, if any, effect this has depends on the hotplug script which is
-configured. A typically behaviour (exhibited by the example hotplug
-scripts) if set might be to configure firewall rules to allow only the
-specified IP address to be used by the guest (blocking all others).
-
-### backend
-
-Specifies the backend domain which this device should attach to. This
-defaults to domain 0.  Specifying another domain requires setting up a
-driver domain which is outside the scope of this document.
-
-### rate
-
-Specifies the rate at which the outgoing traffic will be limited to.
-The default if this keyword is not specified is unlimited.
-
-The rate may be specified as "<RATE>/s" or optionally "<RATE>/s@<INTERVAL>".
-
-  * `RATE` is in bytes and can accept suffixes:
-      * GB, MB, KB, B for bytes.
-      * Gb, Mb, Kb, b for bits.
-  * `INTERVAL` is in microseconds and can accept suffixes: ms, us, s.
-    It determines the frequency at which the vif transmission credit
-    is replenished. The default is 50ms.
-
-Vif rate limiting is credit-based. It means that for "1MB/s@20ms", the
-available credit will be equivalent of the traffic you would have done
-at "1MB/s" during 20ms. This will results in a credit of 20,000 bytes
-replenished every 20,000 us.
-
-For example:
-
-        'rate=10Mb/s' -- meaning up to 10 megabits every second
-        'rate=250KB/s' -- meaning up to 250 kilobytes every second
-        'rate=1MB/s@20ms' -- meaning 20,000 bytes in every 20 millisecond 
period
-
-NOTE: The actual underlying limits of rate limiting are dependent
-on the underlying netback implementation.
-
-### devid
-
-Specifies the devid manually instead of letting xl choose the lowest index 
available.
-
-NOTE: This should not be set unless you have a reason to.
