=================================================
The purpose of the vif_rules script is to allow multi-tenancy on a XenServer
host. In a multi-tenant cloud environment a host machine needs to be able to
host. In a multi-tenant cloud environment a host machine needs to be able to
enforce network isolation amongst guest instances, at both layer two and layer
three. The rules prevent guests from taking and using unauthorized IP addresses,
sniffing other guests traffic, and prevents ARP poisoning attacks. This current

How it works - tl;dr
====================
iptables, ebtables, and arptables drop rules are applied to all forward chains
on the host. These are applied at boot time with an init script. They ensure
all forwarded packets are dropped by default. Allow rules are then applied to

How it works - Long

Any time an underprivileged domain or domU is started or stopped, it
gets a unique domain id (dom_id). This dom_id is utilized in a number
gets a unique domain id (dom_id). This dom_id is utilized in a number
of places, one of which is that it is assigned to the virtual
interface (vif). The vifs are attached to the bridge that is attached
to the physical network. For instance, if you had a public bridge
interface (vif). The vifs are attached to the bridge that is attached
to the physical network. For instance, if you had a public bridge
attached to eth0 and your domain id was 5, your vif would be vif5.0.
The networking rules are applied to the VIF directly so they apply at the lowest
level of the networking stack. Because the VIF changes along with the domain id
