When 3.0.4 development starts, the new control API will be one of the core bits of work so understanding this work you've done is very topical. Even if there's no desire to do wholesale replacement of the Python daemons, ideas/lessons learnt from the API / network protocols may well be valuable. > - source code for domain-0 and hypervisor > See http://www.virtualiron.com/products/open_source.cfm Is the alternate Dom0 control plane agent code here compatible with the current Xen unstable/3.0.3 HV & Dom0 kernel, or does it have dependancies on changes you made to HV / dom0 too ?
