The unit files both have After=network.target, and this in turn implies
After=network-pre.target. Both iptables.service & ip6tables.service have
Before=network-pre.target since Fedora >= 35 and RHEL >= 8.4.
When we first added the deps on ip[6]tables.service in

systemd: start libvirtd after firewalld/iptables services
the Before=network-pre.target didn't exist, but we can rely on it now
given our supported platforms matrix.
The firewalld.service has similarly has a Before=network-pre.target,
even when we took that commit above, so this dep was in face never
actually needed. This answers the question posed in that above commit
message about firewalld ordering.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
