Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Big network problem on recent kernel updatefromxen/stable2.6.32.x
I don't use the xend scripts to create a bridge, I use fedora/red hat config 
scripts to create the bridge at boot.  I use a bridge called xenbr0 that has no 
physical interface, but it does have an IP assigned in dom0, which handles 
routing for now.

What bridge are you using? Is it virbr0, or some bridge with a physical NIC 
attached to it?
