Re: [libvirt-users] network under session

That is not only tedious, but also unsupported (so you would have to use "qemu commandline passthrough" to do it). If your libvirt and qemu are new enough, you can use bridged networking even from qemu:///session-initiated guests; as long as there is a system libvirtd running, and it has the standard default network, which creates a "virbr0" bridge device, you can configure the guests with <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='virbr0'/> ... </interface> If your libvirt and qemu are able, they will run qemu's suid "qemu-bridge-helper" application which will create a tap device, connect it to virbr0, and pass it back to qemu for use by the guest. Once you've done this, both guests will be on the same network (192.168.122.0/24 by default) and thus able to directly contact each other. They will still be behind a NAT though, so unreachable from the outside. Look up "qemu-bridge-helper" for instructions on the necessary ACL configuration for qemu-bridge-helper (each user that will use this type of network connection needs to be listed in a config file somewhere).
