Hi,

I am newbie to Xen. I have a basic question about virtio in Xen.

Does the paravirtualization in Xen use virtio? What is the difference between virtio and paravirtualization? The Xen HVM has Qemu-dm which runs in dom0 as backend which emulates the hardware. Is virtio used in Xen-HVM tye of virtualization? Since Qemu running on KVM has this virtio, I am having this doubt.

Thanks,
Jagadish
