Ok, but perhaps some better name? When I read something like: <interface type='bridge'> <ip address='1.2.3.4'/> <domain name='netvm'/> </interface> it is really not obvious what domain this is about. When the same would be supported for PCI passthrough, it will be even more confusing: <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </source> <mac address='52:54:00:6d:90:02'/> <domain name='netvm'/> </interface> Any ideas for a better name?
