3.3.2? We dropped micro versions some time ago.
This is copy/paste from link element, sorry.

There already is an element called <link> with attribute "state" which
modifies the link state in qemu. So that maps to guest link state. So
this patch has a naming collision going on.
Yes, but some times ago Laine Stump says that for host side link
status we can use source element with link state.
I also don't really see how modifying the host side link state would be
useful. Could you elaborate why you think it would be useful?
OSPF - tap device have addresses assigned to it and bird/quagga create
routing based on interface link status and addresses on device.
So if i have host side device in up state no matter that have guest -
host system forward traffic to it. So i need to modify host side link
status too.
At any rate, if you provide a justification, you also need to modify the
XML portion to have a separate element and provide a test case as it's
required with XML changes.
Can you gave me example test for xml changes?
Thanks!
