I believe re-use is intentional. I
suspect oVirt uses the IEEE [1]
space allocated to Qumranet and that space is relatively small. There
were previous discussions on the list regarding the probability of
collisions/exhaustion, IIRC. In any case, you want re-use to prevent
the possibility of exhaustion and because a program shouldn't just go
randomly creating addresses from any available OUI block.
Cheers,
Keith
