Curious if someone could point me to any documentation which describes the difference between an interface type of "ethernet" vs. "bridge".

I was trying to set up a domain with virsh to use the second nic on a server, in the process I noticed that the default vnic that was created during the install was specified as

   <interface type='ethernet'>

When I looked at dumpxml after doing a virsh attach-interface, I noticed the new vnic that was added was specified as <interface type='bridge'>

During some tinkering I discovered that they are not the same, for example, I cannot specify

   <interface type='ethernet'>
     <source bridge='igb1'/>

As the source bridge appears to be ignored. Instead, I *must* specify it as

   <interface type='bridge'>
     <source bridge='igb1'/>
