RE: [Xen-users] veth0 is from netback and vifu.0 is fromthebridge-utils?



sorry to bring this up again but i'm still confused (i know things changed
recently with peth0 and all).  so theres no more veth0?  whats peth0?
(someone said it was the physical int, i thought that was eth0, eth1,
etc.).  Also, i'm using vif-route not bridge:

bash-3.00# ip addr
1: peth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen
1000
    link/ether fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:09:6b:b5:6b:95 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 172.31.215.177/24 brd 172.31.215.255 scope global eth1
3: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet 172.31.254.207/32 brd 172.31.254.207 scope global lo:hostname
4: vif0.0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether 00:09:6b:b5:6b:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 172.31.205.177/24 brd 172.31.205.255 scope global eth0
6: xen-br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
7: vif1.1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 169.254.1.0/32 brd 169.254.1.0 scope global vif1.1
