This is a series of 3 patches to add network management support for pHyp driver.
Can you explain what sort of network connectivity you are managing here ?
The virNetwork APIs are specifically for an IP layer virtual switch, that does IP forwarding, optionally with NAT.
Reading the patches, it sounds more like you're trying to represent ethernet layer virtual switches (aka bridging to physical NICs). This is what the virInterface APIs are intended to cover
So if my understanding is correct you need to implement the virInterface APIs rather than virNetwork APIs
I guess you're right. My initial idea was to describe the management of network interfaces. I was not aware of this virInterface API. Perhaps I should re write from the beginning, which will not take long since I have all the command calls ready and logic fresh in my head. Thanks you very much for the comment, will send a patch soon. -- Eduardo Otubo Software Engineer Linux Technology Center IBM Systems & Technology Group Mobile: +55 19 8135 0885 eotubo@linux.vnet.ibm.com
