Can I ask you a quick question? I've
set up bridge-networking for Xen 4.1 (xen-4.1.3-25.el5.22)
and networking was being done properly for Dom0 and DomUs.
However, I noticed that Dom0 receives a lot of network
interrupts or network packets even when they were not
actually meant for either Dom0 or DomU. Now, here are the
questions:
1. Dom0 is acting in promiscuous mode, right?
2. If answer to Q1 is yes, can it be stopped and yet have
the bridging possible? If the answer is no, any idea why
so many interrupts are being generated or if I'm missing
something?
3. If I don't want promiscuous mode (to avoid unnecesary
interrupts), should I use Route or NAT option for
networking? Which one is easier and do they totally avoid
promiscuous mode?
Cheers...Deven.
