Does macvtap support host to guest communication?

Hi, folks

I am trying to use qemu/qemu-kvm with macvtap using following commands:

# ip link add link eth0 name v0 type macvtap mode {vepa,bridge,private}
# ip link set v0 address da:4e:17:88:42:b1 up
# idx=`ip link show v0 | grep mtu| awk -F":" '{print $1}'`
# kvm -net nic,macaddr=da:4e:17:88:42:b1 -net tap,fd=3 -hda
/home/asias/qemu-stuff/sid.img  3<>/dev/tap${idx}

I found that guest can access other hosts on the LAN except the host
where guest lives, and host where guest lives can not access guest.

My question is: Does macvtap support host(hypervisor host) to guest
communication?
