Hi,

I am newbie to Xen. I have a basic question about virtio in Xen. I have posted this question to xen-users list also. Please ignore if you have responded to this question in that list.

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
