We don't trust our domU users.  Traditionally we have used bridged
networking and implemented anti-spoofing in xen by means of iptables and
ebtables.

After playing more with XCP we really like it and would like to switch to
XCP eventually.  However, we need to ensure an equally bullet proof ipv4
and ipv6 anti-spoofing setup to what we currently have in Xen 3.4.

Shouldn't we be able to achieve the same by assigning each domU a virtual
trunk port and vlan in openvswitch?  This would also work across dom0's
no?

I haven't tried this yet as the box I've been using to play with XCP is on
a cheap switch which doesn't support vlan trunking etc.  Has anyone any
input into this? - segregating the network traffic of untrusted users will
be a big deal for us.


Thanks,

Matt.
