Hi El Nino, I think there is a bit of a misconception here: vmxnet3 is a specific, proprietary, paravirtualized network interface provided by VMware (ESX).
There is no vmxnet3 support in KVM. KVM provides its own paravirtualized network interface, called virtio_network: https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Paravirtualized_networking If you have an application that requires paravirtualized networking, you should use this. If your application doesn't support anything besides vmxnet3, you should ask your application vendor to provide a version that doesn't depend on VMware.

I have some applications that only work with vmxnet3 and not e1000 or RTL8139. Kvm is compatible with vmxnet3 and on the LibVirtVMDef.java we have the vmxnet3 on NicModel function. With this, i want to know if we can edit the template on cloudstack by api or editing the database to change this parameter.
