Also seen that, but how do you conclude from that to which domU the
tap-device belongs?

I think i found something usable:


- ping the ip of the domU on the tap-interface you want to identify,
i.e. 'ping -c2 ch_hvmadm'
I also have the mac of my domU on that interface from the xen-config,
its aa:00:00:00:00:03 in this case.


- from the ping we have the mac in the arp-cache, and 
'brctl showmacs xenadm0' shows the macs known on that bridge:
   -----------
   port no mac addr             is local?  ageing timer
     2     00:03:d2:11:0d:fb    no            1.57
   [....]
     4     6e:14:9d:77:3a:cd    yes            0.00
     4     aa:00:00:00:00:03    no          138.21
     1     fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff    yes            0.00
   -----------


- the 'port' column of my well-known mac is important, its 4.
Issuing 'brctl show' i get the connected tap-interface on the
4th line:
   -----------
   bridge name     bridge id       STP enabled     interfaces
   xenadm0         8000.6e149d773acd       no      vif0.0
                                                   peth0
                                                   vif1.0
                                                   tap0
                                                   vif17.0
   [.....]
   -----------

So now for implementing it into my perl/rrdtool scripts..
