--- Comment #6 from Olivier Cochard <olivier@freebsd.org> ---
I've reach to reproduce a setup when this localy-unique epair create confli=
ct
on a LAN:

     +----------------+       +---------------+
     |     ServerA    |       |    serverB    |
     |  bridge0 - em0 |- LAN -| em0 - bridge0 |
     |    |           |       |         |     |
     |  epair1a       |       |       epair1a |
     |  epair1b       |       |       epair1b |
     |    |           |       |         |     |
     |  vnetjail1     |       |     vnetjail2 |
     +----------------+       +---------------+

MAC addresses of epair1 are the same on both jail, then they can't communic=
ate
each others:

[root@jail1]~# ifconfig epair1b ether
epair1b: flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metri=
c 0
mtu 1500
        options=3D8<VLAN_MTU>
        ether 02:ff:70:00:0f:0b
        hwaddr 02:ff:70:00:0f:0b


[root@jail2]~# ifconfig epair1b ether
epair1b: flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metri=
c 0
mtu 1500
        options=3D8<VLAN_MTU>
        ether 02:ff:70:00:0f:0b
        hwaddr 02:ff:70:00:0f:0b

We could perhaps generate a MAC field "eaddr[1]" (in if_epair.c) from the
hostid  for mitigate this conflict (like the net/if_bridge.c code) ?
But if we take code from if_bridge, we should create a common function for
being available to if_bridge and if_epair.
