Cool!

Might I add some tiny suggestions?

network-xen-bridge.png:
 * Move domU outside of dom0?  What's it doing there?
 * Name the domU "Linux domU #4", to illustrate that the VIF number
derives from the domU #.
   (The current double "VIF #4" vs. "vif4" makes the "VIF #4" superfluous)
 * Remove the "Debian" wording, it's not important.

network-xen-route.png
 * (again,) while domU living inside of dom0 may be correct for some
technical reason (RAM?), it seems confusing on a network diagram..
 * (again,) the wording "Linux domU #4" would be preferable to "Linux
domU VIF #4", IMHO at least.

Super cool work, thanks a lot.
