Re: [libvirt] Bridged network (shared physical device) and libvirt

I see the need to be able to actually be able create vlans on physical
devices and the bridge the vlan, which I guess is a very normal case for
isolating network traffic between different guests.
I would be great if it would be possible to both create vlans on
physical devices and then also create bridged network connected to any
available network (physical/bonded/vlan)
This is functionality we are actually missing for ovirt as well. I had done a
proof of concept patch a while ago (you can search the libvirt archives), but it
wasn't comprehensive enough. In particular, it could deal with putting a
physical device into a bridge, but didn't make any provision for bonding and
VLANs, both of which are needed to have a correct solution. It needs some
thought about the XML design, and then it can probably be implemented.
