XCP by default use OpenVSwitch, which capable to provide bonding.
bridge (xenbrX) is placed between bonding and virtual interfaces.

After I have create a test bond from XenCenter, I have noticed that
what was actually created on the host is not a "bond" (as described in
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt ), but
a bridge. This is confusing, I was expecting something like a 802.3ad
interface, that would need cooperation from the the switch (group
ports into a LAG).
I guess I'm missing something. Is there some layer behind this bridge,
that makes it act like a bond? Does it need any special configuration
at switch's side?
Why do they call "bond" a bridge, anyway? Surely there is a good
reason, but I'm curious which is.
Greetings.
