And how these drivers choose NNN? Do QEMU driver and LXC driver use the same
NNN?
Start from vnet0 and look for the first available name.

Now openvz driver chooses not interface name in host, but interface name in
container.
The interface name inside the container is not something that is expressed
in the libvirt XML. That is left upto the guest OS to decide, and not
something libvirt needs to care about.
We only care about configuration from the host side.
