Description George Shammas 2014-10-27 22:02:50 UTC 
The network-macvlan flag for nspawn creates a non-stable mac address, even in a reboot of a container.

It appears that in 216 there was a fix applied to solve the problem for netowrk-veth, but wasn't applied for macvlan.

The macvlan has several benefits over veth, namely that it doesn't require setting up a bridge network, and that the virutal interfaces created cannot see the global or neighbor traffic received of the physical interface.
