I'm trying to use macvtap driver, and for starters it doesn't look quite good...
I already looked for information about it. It has 4 modes: VEPA, bridge, private, and passthrough. VEPA is an automatic no go because today's switches don't normally support the so called "hairpin" mode; passthrough looks kind of like VirtualBox's NAT, only access to the outside network like internet but no communication with host itself; bridge should be the good one here, should be the one working just like Proxmox's default bridged network design, but docs say macvtap bridge is NOT intended nor designed to work with host-guest communication!?
Private is an automatic no go as well.
Has someone used macvtap here? Is it true about this bridge terrible limitation?
