Networks with enabled vlan transparency
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In case of networks with enabled vlan transparency, if additional vlan tag is
configured inside guest VM, MTU has to be lowered by 4 bytes to make space for
additional vlan tag in the packet's header.
For example, if network's MTU is set to ``1500``, value configured for the
interfaces in the guest vm should be manually set to ``1496`` or less bytes.
