Re: [Xen-users] dummy interfaces on a bridge?

["Esteban Sancho" <esteban.sancho@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,

I didn't test that but think it's a good oportunity for you to do so. :o)

I suppose that performance should be better since data don't have to
go through all the TCP layers.

Please let me know if you need any help configuring it. You'll need to
create a dummy interface in the Dom0 and configure a vif for the DomU
pointing to the bridge xend creates when it's started (something like
xenbr0).

Cheers,

Esteban
