Network labeling provides the ability to label networks and to use that label on the host's interfaces, abstracting logical networks from physical interfaces and bonds (which can be labeled with one or more labels).

Predictable vNIC order improves MAC address and PCI address mapping when virtual network interface cards are added to virtual machines. Predictable vNIC order makes the order of NICs in the virtual machine predictable in accordance with their visual order.

OpenStack Neutron integration provides the ability to use the various technologies that OpenStack Neutron networks support. These technologies include IPAM, L3 routing, and security groups. OpenStack Neutron Integration also facilitates the use of technologies not natively supported in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for virtual machine networks.

iproute2 is now supported. A network backend based on iproute2 tools is available. This backend is based on the internal API.

Multi-host network configuration is now supported. Multi-host network configuration allows the administrator to modify a network (for instance, VLAN-id or maximum transmission unit) that is already provisioned by the hosts and to apply the network changes to all of the hosts within the datacenter to which the network is assigned. This feature will be enabled for data centers of versions 3.1 and higher, regardless of cluster level. This avoids inconsistency between hosts' network configuration in multiple clusters.
