1) How does it solve 'mac address spoofing' between virtual machines?
That's an irrelevant question for the libvirt XML format. We're simply
defining what MAC address a guest has. Its upto the underlying virtualization
technology to do the neccessary mac address spoofing protection based on
the define MAC libvirt assignes to a guest
2) How does it solve 'dupplicate mac addresses' in a cluster
of processing
units?
It doesn't. Libvirt does not provide policy, only mechanism. Its upto
tools using libvirt to ensure uniqueness.
3) How does it solve 'migration arp issues'?
Again, not libvirt's problem. Its the underlying virt technology to deal
with.
