Look in: tools/python/xen/xend/server/{blk,net}if.py
These implement the domain-controller end of the protocol. Other relevant
code is in controller.py and channel.py (also in that directory). Currently
this code uses the Deferred objects in the Twisted Matrix framework to
implement this in a non-blocking way. If you ever look at supporting
unstable / 3.0, you should be aware a Xend rewrite is in progress for the
unstable tree that will eliminate use of Twisted and use language level
threads - allowing you to block instead of using Deferreds.
If you need configuration details in the domain config file, you'll also need
to modify the xm tool and various other parts of Xend. You might find
tracing through how block or net configuration works a helpful exercise is
this case.
I'm personally curious what your front / back end is ;-) Will we get to see
it some time?
HTH,
Mark
