      Hi,
        

        Referring to the link http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/VirtualNetworking,
           the scenario  described for the routed mode, explains that 
        

        "Host
            has public IP and virtual machines have static public IPs.
            But one can't use bridged networking, since provider accept
            only packets from the MAC address of the host"
        

        Can
            someone explain to me why doesn't the switch accept the
            packets from the guest vms' mac addresses also since they
            have public IPs  in the bridged mode ?
      
    
    Because the people who have administrative control over the switch
    have configured it that way. (Of course, if they're that
    restrictive, it's doubtful that they would allocate an entire subnet
    to a customer's machine, and reconfigure their routing tables to
    deal with it).
