Two of the programs there use libpcap (sniffing/promiscuous) to capture data. Since Xen uses bridging pcap is able to view all traffic going through the bridge. Of the two applications bandwidthd seems the most promising as it is complete, used commercially, and seems to be pretty active. I'll be experimenting with it and will follow up in a few days if it turned out to be worthwhile or not. The only real problem I envision is running a copy of it on each Xen host... normally monitoring apps that put the interface into promisc mode like to eat up CPU, if you're pushing over a few megabit/s out of the server it will most likely consume more CPU than wanted although filters can help reduce that. I guess this will all be found out over the next couple of hours/days.
