There is info on the website here:

   http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html


NB, the libvirt <network> format is only relevant for creating bridges
that forward traffic, optionally with NAT. It does *not* create bridges
with a physical device attached. For info on the latter use your distro
network setup process, eg

  http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking
