It's a Xen 1.x-era diagram. If you imagine the whole Virtual Firewall Router
box being inside dom0 *as well* (i.e. Xen doesn't really have anything to do
with the network) then that's pretty close to what Xen 2.0 and above looks
like.
It'd be nice to have more figures for the documentation - it'd help make
things clearer. Nobody has got around to doing it yet, but any contributions
would be very welcome!
Cheers,
