Configuration 1: Configuration for creating a highly reliable network of KVM guests on the KVM host
This configuration is useful if KVM guests are not clustered but you want to maintain communication without being aware of KVM guest (guest OS) failures when a network failure has occurred. The KVM host (host OS) is set to the Virtual NIC mode.

Configuration 2: Configuration for creating a highly reliable network on KVM guests in a single system
This configuration is useful if KVM guests are not clustered and you want to detect failures on each KVM guest when a network failure has occurred. In this configuration, each KVM guest (guest OS) can be set to either the Fast switching mode, the NIC switching mode, or the Virtual NIC mode.

Configuration 3: Configuration for creating a highly reliable network on each KVM guest in a cluster system
This configuration is useful if KVM guests are clustered. In this configuration, each KVM guest (guest OS) can be set to either the Fast switching mode, the NIC switching mode, or the Virtual NIC mode.
