Currently, when an interface (virtual network) is started, if no ip address is defined, then no rule is added to bemit "internal" network traffic. However, virtual guests can use such a network to communicate if a rule is added to the iptables/ip6tables rule set. This will work even if no ip address is defined on an interface (which is valid).

I propose that rules of the following forms be added when an interface is started and removed when it is destroyed:

iptables -I FORWARD 1 -i  virbr18 -o  virbr18  -j  ACCEPT

ip6tables -I FORWARD 1 -i  virbr18 -o  virbr18  -j  ACCEPT

If a user wants a "very private network", the user has to run the above commands. The proposal simply does this automatically.
It appears that this patch is not necessary since I can do this now using nwfilters.

Question: I see little discussed or anything about nwfilters. Is nwfilters an active concept or is it still included because of legacy? Will this still work with firewalld?
Well, it was a nice idea anyway.  It seems to not work for ipv6.

1. I defined a network with no IPv4 or IPv6 addresses specified.
2. Took one of my guests and put attached that new network.
3. Edited the domain for the guest and added a <filterref name='allow-ipv4'/>
4. Started things up and got what I wanted in iptables.
[that is when I wrote the previous message]
5. Using allow-ipv4 as my guide, created a new filter allow-ipv6.
6. Edited the domain again to use allow-ipv6.
7. Started things again ... ip6tables shows nothing!

I seem to have stumbled across another bug.  More later.
