Hi,
I can think of two alternative solutions for maintaining uniqueness:
1. DB look up: After generating a new MAC address, checking uniqueness by
doing a DB look up.
2. Having a 'unique' constraint on the 'mac_address' column and handle
the DB IntegrityError and retry generating a new MAC address.
I also think, initializing the 'random.seed' in start-up process of Quantum
server (with a different value - configurable one; on each server) could help
in reducing conflicts.
I think either of the above solutions could be used for fixing LP bug #1050924.

Hi,
We want unique MAC addresses in our environment only but across multiple

Do you need it to be globally unique (amongst all macs on earth) or
simply unique in your environment?
