Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235961 If using the default virtual network, an easy way to lose guest network connectivity is to install libvirt inside the VM. The autostarted default network inside the guest collides with host virtual network routing. This is a long standing issue that has caused users quite a bit of pain and confusion. On network startup, parse /proc/net/route and compare the requested IP+netmask against host routing destinations: if any matches are found, refuse to start the network. v2: Drop sscanf, fix a comment typo, comment that function could use libnl instead of /proc v3: Consider route netmask. Compare binary data rather than convert to string.
