Hello,

 

I have a dom0 running in SuSE. My first domU is  also suse, and I noticed after running ifconfig that a vif1.0 entry showed up in ifconfig. This is what I expected after reading the Xen networking wiki page. My second domU is windows 7. I noticed when running ifconfig that vif2.0 entry was created, as expected. But, there is also a tap2.0 entry. Why is this created for windows and not linux? I’ve tried to look for documentation but I could not find a reference to this in the xen networking page (http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking). Could anyone help clarify why tap2.0 is created, and why only for windows domU and not linux domU?

 

Thanks!

 

Julien
