Currently it is not possible to determine the speed of an interface
and whether a link is actually detected from the API. Orchestrating
platforms want to be able to determine when the link has failed and
where multiple speeds may be available which one the interface is
actually connected at. This commit introduces an extension to our
interface XML (without implementation to interface driver backends):
<interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'>
<start mode='none'/>
<mac address='aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff'/>
<link speed='1000' state='up'/>
<mtu size='1492'/>
...
</interface>
Where @speed is negotiated link speed in Mbits per second, and state
is the current NIC state (can be one of the following: "unknown",
"notpresent", "down", "lowerlayerdown","testing", "dormant", "up").

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
