Possibly, though its not terribly consistent so far. Xen - vifNNN.MMM (NNN dom ID, MMM = nic number) QEMU - vnetNNN (NNN = global host nic number) LXC - vethNNN (MMM = global host nic number) We can't change the format Xen uses, but it could be desirable to make LXC, QEMU and OpenVZ all use vnetNNN scheme by default for auto assigned nics names on the host side.
