There's some info on vnets in a paper in IEEE Computer, Nov 2004,
about SoftUDC.

There's some admittedly sketchy info in the xen tree with the code.
All the code is in tools/vnet in the xen source.
I'm doing some more updating and hope to have some more documentation
available soon. In the meantime if you have any questions drop
me an email.

A quick description is that vnets provide virtual private LANs for
virtual machines. VMs on the same vnet can be on the same xen host
or on different hosts and their ethernet traffic goes through a multipoint
tunnel so they can't see the real network. The location of vms
is discovered dynamically, so vm migration is supported.

Hope this helps,

Mike
