[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 3/4] virtio-net: Limit the num of uni/multicast mac addresses

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

In order to send gratuitous packet for each mac address, we need to keep
track every macaddress after migration which is obviously conflicted with the
overload policy currently used in qemu which just forward all packets to guest
when it can't record all the macaddress. So we need to limit the num of
uni/multicast mac addresses in qemu.
