This patch adds basic Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA)
capabilities to the Xen tools code.
A Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) is a capability within
a physical end station that collaborates with an adjacent, external
bridge to provide distributed bridging support between multiple
virtual end stations and external networks. The VEPA collaborates
by forwarding all station-originated frames to the adjacent bridge
for frame processing and frame relay (including so-called 'hairpin'
forwarding) and by steering and replicating frames received from
the VEPA uplink to the appropriate destinations. A VEPA may be
implemented in software or in conjunction with embedded hardware.
In particular, the patch extends the Xen tools networking scripts
to configure a VEPA instead of the standard Ethernet bridge to
attach guest domains to. By default, it creates one or more VEPA(s)
on the system and configures the physical network interface(s) as
the VEPA uplink port(s).
This patch relies on VEPA capabilities of the Xen Dom0 kernel
which are provided by an additional patch 'net/bridge: Add basic
VEPA support to Xen Dom0'.
Configuration of VEPA capabilities through Linux userspace bridge
utilities is provided by an additional patch 'bridge-utils: add
basic VEPA support'.
You can find additional information on VEPA here:

This patch follows some of the suggested changes introduced by
Zhigang Wang's recently published patch 'Change default network
schema in network-bridge'.

+#============================================================================
+# Default Xen network start/stop script.
+# Xend calls a network script when it starts.
+# The script name to use is defined in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
+# in the network-script field.
+#
+# This script creates a bridge in VEPA mode (default vepa0), adds a device
+# (defaults to the device on the default gateway route) to it and sets that
+# device as the VEPA uplink port, then copies the IP addresses from the
+# device to the VEPA and adjusts the routes accordingly.
+#
+# If all goes well, this should ensure that networking stays up.
+# However, some configurations are upset by this, especially
+# NFS roots. If the bridged setup does not meet your needs,
+# configure a different script, for example using routing instead.
+#
+# Usage:
+#
+# network-vepa (start|stop|status) {VAR=VAL}*
+#
+# Vars:
+#
+# bridge The bridge to use in VEPA mode (default vepa0).
+# netdev The interface to add to the VEPA (default gateway device or eth0).
+#
+# start:
+# Creates the bridge in VEPA mode
+# Copies the IP and MAC addresses from netdev to VEPA
+# Enslaves netdev to VEPA
+#
+# stop:
+# Removes netdev from the VEPA
+# Transfers addresses, routes from VEPA to netdev
+# Deletes VEPA
+#
+# status:
+# Print addresses, interfaces, routes
