Custom network filters are not supported.
If you still want to use custom network filters, you would have to:
- add custom network properties on oVirt-engine level,
- add a hook like vdsm_hooks/noipspoof/noipspoof.py which modifies
  libvirt's domain XML to activate the custom network filter and
- be yourself responsible to deploy the custom network filter
