Thread-topic: What does backend attribute in xm list -l signifies?

Hi,
The output of the command 'xm list -l' gives something as :
(device
        (vif
            (backend 0)
            (script vif-bridge)
            (bridge xenbr1)
            (mac 00:16:3E:BD:8F:2E)
        )
    )
    (device (vbd (backend 0) (dev hdd:cdrom) (uname phy:/dev/dvd) (mode r)))
    (device
        (vbd
            (backend 0)
            (dev hda:disk)….

Can you please explain what does this backend 0 signifies?
Does that mean that the backend is Domain0?
Thanks and regards
Ashit
