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.
Indeed; thanks for taking this on. Would it also be useful to have an API that simply sets the network and mask of the default network?
On network startup, parse /proc/net/route
Any interest in doing this with netlink instead? (I've got this "thing" against parsing text files to get information if it can be retrieved via a nice clean API). If so, I think I can whip up the equivalent code with libnl calls, but probably not until later in the afternoon.
I agree, using netlink would be a bit cleaner. Dave
