If I have a guest running on a Xen enabled system and I do network traffic between the guest and Dom0, will the traffic go over the wire or will the Dom0 stack route it to the guest bypassing the network interface?
Thanks,

It creates a virtual interfaces which communicate via the bridge. None of the traffic ever reaches the actual ethernet adaptor and therefore it does not hit the wire.
