Description

Currently, the multi-machine networking does not scale for large openqa
instances with lots of remote workers.

This is probably the simplest way how to solve it:
Allow configuration of static network between certain workers and
assign jobs to these workers via capabilities.
We already use capabilities for architecture so this should be easy.

For example:

worker1 and worker2 run on the same host,

worker1 uses device tap1,
worker2 uses device tap2,

tap1 and tap2 are assigned to bridge1

both worker1 and worker2 exports capability "test-network-1"

testsuite "server" requires capability "test-network-1"
testsuite "client" requires capability "test-network-1"

this ensures that the jobs for client and server can be assigned only to worker1 and worker2
