This is the term used by the libvirt Wiki to refer to the combined setup of a 'virtual bridge' network interface, dnsmasq instance bound to it, and firewall rules associated with it; 'bridge' is ambiguous because it is sometimes used with this meaning, and sometimes to refer specifically to the virtual network device called a 'bridge'.
