IMHO for network setup it's easier to use bridge. That you manage your
dom0 (network-wise) the same way you manage your L2 or L3 switch. When
you need NAT, you can use bridge + NAT (which is what libvirt does
with virbr0).

Performance-wise, I didn't have to do any tweaking with RHEL5. domU
can easily saturate uplink, with domU <-> domU throughput in the range
of 2-3 Gbps. Some people have reported problems (search the list
archive) with recent pv_ops dom0 kernel.
