Packets sent by guests on virbrN, *or* by dnsmasq on the same, to - 255.255.255.255/32 (netmask-independent local network broadcast address), or to - 224.0.0.0/24 (local subnetwork multicast range) are never forwarded, hence it is not necessary to masquerade them. In fact we must not masquerade them: translating their source addresses or source ports (where applicable) may confuse receivers on virbrN. One example is the DHCP client in OVMF (= UEFI firmware for virtual machines): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/1506/focus=2640 It expects DHCP replies to arrive from remote source port 67. Even though dnsmasq conforms to that, the destination address (255.255.255.255) and the source address (eg. 192.168.122.1) in the reply allow the UDP masquerading rule to match, which rewrites the source port to or above 1024. This prevents the DHCP client in OVMF from accepting the packet.
