484 This driver provides support for Xen paravirtual network
485 devices exported by a Xen network driver domain (often
486 domain 0).
487
488 The corresponding Linux backend driver is enabled by the
489 CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND option.

491 If you are compiling a kernel for use as Xen guest, you
492 should say Y here. To compile this driver as a module, chose
493 M here: the module will be called xen-netfront.

498 help
499 This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver
500 domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other
501 Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating
502 system that implements a compatible front end.
503
504 The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the
505 CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND configuration option.
506
507 The backend driver presents a standard network device
508 endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver
509 domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed
510 etc in order to provide full network connectivity.
511
512 If you are compiling a kernel to run in a Xen network driver
513 domain (often this is domain 0) you should say Y here. To
514 compile this driver as a module, chose M here: the module
515 will be called xen-netback.

566 This provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create

569 infrastructure. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable
