 Thanks to both for the explanation.

Regarding your question about network restrictions, consider that in the

This is the only configuration that I could manage to get functional. I
could not find examples or tutorials explaining how to have the VMs to take
any IP (from the specified Virtual Network) and have those IPs reflected in
vnet interfaces as well as routing tables installed on the hosts
(otherwise, i don't see how the host could talk with a VM whose IP is
something it doesn't know).

So, if I understand correctly, if the hosts support ovSwitch, and I define
several virtual networks to use ovswitch with the same IP range but
different VLAN_ID, there won't any conflict, right? That sounds good to me.
