Dan/Mark:

Thank you, we are creating a proto-type project that may leverage some
of the work.
We will be more than happy to share our results with you and the
community.

Thanks.

The original code was very recently made available on sourceforge under
GPL:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/xvmsocket/

Medium-to-long term though I don't see a Xen specific socket impl as
really
being a viable model. A generic solution based on the new Virt-IO
paravirt
infrastructure will be more appealing to app developers because it'll be

possible to make use of it across all the different impls of
paravirt_ops 
in Linux (ie Xen, KVM, VMWare, LGuest). 

Dan.
