If you destroy a guest (aka vm aka domain), e.g. by using "virsh destroy blah", then the vnet interfaces for that guest are also destroyed (because they are no longer needed - they are just tap devices used to connect the guest's emulated ethernet devices to a bridge). But if you stop the libvirt daemon (e.g. "systemctl stop libvirtd.service" on a RHEL-based distro), the guests are still running, so the tap devices (vnet) are still needed, so they are not touched. > but those(at least) of bridge type remain in the system after daemon > is stopped. Is this intended would you know? A bridge device is used by potentially several different guests to connect to the host and or the outside world. If it was destroyed when the libvirt daemon was stopped, then all the guests would lose their network connectivity. This would make it impossible to upgrade libvirt without disrupting guest operation. _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
