Just as each physical device used by a network has a connections counter, now each network has a connections counter which is incremented once for each guest interface that connects using this network.
The count is output in the live network XML, like this:
<network connections='20'> ... </network>
It is read-only, and for informational purposes only - it isn't used internally anywhere by libvirt. --- src/conf/network_conf.c | 6 +++++- src/conf/network_conf.h | 1 + src/network/bridge_driver.c | 10 ++++++++++ 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
Still, I can't help but wonder if someone will try to feed the live dumpxml output back into libvirt to define a new network config, and trigger an rng failure as a result - you need to touch docs/schemas/network.rng. I also think this is missing documentation - it may be an output-only parameter, but is worth mentioning in docs/formatnetwork.html.in. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
