Hello,

I am experimenting with Snort and other IDS and I would like to use Xen for these tests. This would require me to use port mirroring to sent a bunch of packets to a NIC located on my Xen machine.

I don't really know how Xen networking works, but is it possible to give a domU direct access to a NIC ? Or at least give it enough access so that it can see packets that are not for the domU originally.

Thank you in advance,

Antoine
