It is showing eth2 that is what is my problem is I am running xen 3.2
and if I refer to that doc it should be xen-br0 since they are
mentioning that bridge name will be same as the interface name if it
is xen 3.3 or above.

But we solved the mystery by just looking right? As far as the bridge name being the same as your interface name it is - eth2. It looks like your physical interface comes up as eth2 for whatever reason then Xend renames it to peth2, sets up a bridge named eth2 and adds peth2 to it.

 So what we see is that you have one bridge (eth2) and all interfaces real or virtual are on it. This means that those  VMs should be communicating on the real network like they're real machines. If you want to redirect connections from the public network you can have your router between you and the outside world port forward to the VMs and you're done. The VMs should already be able to connect to the internet.
