Assigning totally random MAC-addresses for VEs doesn't sound like a good
idea to me. XenSource has allocated MAC-address range 00:16:3E for use
in Xen-domains and VMWare has ranges 00:05:69, 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56.
XenSource's and VMWare's approach sounds better to me.
Is the range 00:18:51 assigned to SWSoft meant for use in OpenVZ VEs or
is there some other method for generating MAC-addresses for VEs?
BR,
Mika
