QEMU 1.3 and newer support an alternative URI-based syntax to specify the location of an NBD server. Libvirt can keep on using the old syntax in general, but only the URI syntax supports IPv6 addresses. The URI syntax also supports relative paths to Unix sockets. These should never be used but aren't explicitly blocked either by the parser, so support it just in case. The URI syntax is intentionally compatible with Gluster's, and the code can be reused.

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.
