well this is kind of by design. if we don't force guest's link down it will think it can access internet, with all packets being lost.
I understand. But in my opinion, inter-guest communication should be preserved because: a) this is how the classical bridge mode works; b) modern guest have internal checks for internet connection; c) guest-to-guest communication should not be impaired by (lack of) internet access.
I see how you might want that in some cases - maybe we should consider an option to disable this behaviour.
It would be great - especially as default behavior. In the meantime, do we have some virsh command (or libvirt xml snippet) to work around the issue, rather than messing with "ip link protodown off"?
