[Xen-users] Moving a network back end to a domU

[Scott Kuehn <skuehn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I have had some success running a domU (HVM, and PV) w/VT-d supported 
networking, and would like to investigate whether it is possible to use 
the VT-d domU to host the xen network back end.  I think this type of 
domU is called an Isolated Driver Domain.  The literature suggests this 
is possible, but I cannot find a suitable 'how-to', or any anecdotes 
that document an appropriate setup/config process.   Does anyone know of 
any references, or have any suggestions?
My goals are to isolate network drivers, and disaggregate dom0.   In 
this idealized scenario, all network traffic would flow directly to the 
"Isolated Driver Domain" domU, which would provide the back end 
interfaces used by a set of HVM's.
Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Scott Kuehn
