However, I have noticed one thing. Simon Kelley had me add a little
"instrumentation" to dnsmasq trying to pursue this large number of

What I have noticed is that there seems to be a broadcast of something
whenever a network is started so that all dnsmasq instances (one per
started network) go into "flurry" mode with issuing RA packets and
syslog messages.
Does anyone know if something in libvirt is doing that?
libvirt itself doesn't do anything directly that would cause that; I'm
guessing it's a side effect of creating the bridge, or adding an IP
address - perhaps either the bridge module or the IP stack is sending
around some sort of notification that the topology has changed.
