Similar to the way that the <vlan>, <bandwidth>, and <virtualport> elements and the trustGuestRxFilters attribute in a <network> (or in the appropriate <portgroup> element of a <network> can be applied to a port when it is allocated for a domain's network interface, this patch checks for a configured value of <port isolated="yes|no"/> in either the domain <interface> or in the network, setting isolatedPort in the <networkport> to the first one it finds (the setting from the domain's <interface> is preferred). This, in turn, is passed back to the domain when a port is allocated, so that the domain will use that setting. (One difference from <vlan>, <bandwidth>, <virtualport>, and trustGuestRxFilters, is that all of those can be set in a <portgroup> so that they can be applied only to a subset of interfaces connected to the network. This didn't really make sense for the isolated setting due to the way that it's implemented in Linux - the BR_ISOLATED flag will prevent traffic from passing between two ports that both have BR_ISOLATED set, but traffic can still go between those ports and other ports that *don't* have BR_ISOLATED. (It would be nice if all traffic from a BR_ISOLATED port could be blocked except traffic going to/from a designated egress port or ports, but instead the entire feature is implemented as a single flag. Because of this, it's really only useful if all the ports on a network are isolated, so setting it for a subset has no practical utility.)

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.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.0 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands, however, we mandate to have the build directory different than the source directory. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:

Contact
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
- libvirt-users@redhat.com (for user discussions)
- libvir-list@redhat.com (for development only)
